Removing a Memory Module
1. Remove the top cover. See Removing the Top Cover on page 2-11.
Mainboard is supplied with all DIMM slots populated with dummy DIMMs for proper air flow.
When installing and replacing memory modules, only remove those dummy DIMMs that are
to be directly replaced. All DIMM slots must be occupied at all times by either a memory mod-
ule or dummy DIMM.
