5.14.3 Memory Removal
Memory may be expanded by adding or replacing up to three DIMMs on the system board.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional boards.
Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching
a grounded metal object.
CAUTION:
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so can
damage the module.
To remove a memory module, complete the following steps:
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Section 5.4).
CAUTION:
When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, there is always voltage applied to the
system board. You must disconnect the power cord from the power source before opening the computer
to prevent system board or component damage.
2. Remove the system unit cover (Section 5.6).
3. Press outward on both latches of the DIMM socket at the same time. This releases the module
and partially pushes it out of the socket.
4. Lift the module from the socket.
Replacing a Memory Module
To replace a DIMM, reverse the removal procedure.
✎
When the computer starts up, it will recognize the system memory upgrades and
automatically reconfigure the computer.
