Removing a memory module
1. Disconnect power from the system (see Predisassembly procedures on page 52).
CAUTION: To ensure that memory modules are not damaged during removal or installation,
power off the workstation and unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet. If you do not unplug
the power cord before installing memory, the modules might be damaged and the system will not
recognize the memory changes.
2. Remove the side access panel (see Side access panel on page 58).
3. Remove the memory fan and system fan.
4. On the memory module to be removed, push gently outward to unlock the locking levers on the
module socket (1), as shown in the following figure.
