Attention: DIMMs are sensitive to static discharge and require special handling. In addition to the standard
guidelines for Handling static-sensitive devices:
• Always wear an electrostatic-discharge strap when removing or installing DIMMs. Electrostatic-discharge
gloves can also be used.
• Never hold two or more DIMMs together so that they touch. Do not stack DIMMs directly on top of each
other during storage.
• Never touch the gold DIMM connector contacts or allow these contacts to touch the outside of the DIMM
connector housing.
• Handle DIMMs with care: never bend, twist, or drop a DIMM.
Before installing a DIMM:
