Removing a memory module
To remove a dual inline memory module (DIMM), complete the following steps.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 73.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices; then, disconnect all power cords
and external cables.
3. Unlock and remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 77).
4. Disconnect any cables that impede access to the DIMMs.
5. Locate the DIMM connector that contains the DIMM that is to be replaced (see
“System-board optional-devices connectors” on page 11 for DIMM slot
locations).
Attention: To avoid breaking the DIMM retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
6. Carefully open the retaining clips on each end of the DIMM connector and
remove the DIMM.
7. If you are instructed to return the DIMM, follow all packaging instructions, and
use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
