Replacing and Adding Memory
This chapter shows how to replace a faulty single-in-line memory module (SIM) and
add additional memory.
CAUTION
SIMs are sensitive to static and and are packed in anti-
static packaging. Electro Static Discharge (ESD) can
cause failure of electronic components and can reduce
the long term reliability of the DECserver 700. Digital
Equipment Corporation recommends you use the anti-
static kit (Part No. 29-26246-00) or ESD wrist strap
(Part No. 12-36157-01) when handling SIMs.
