Removing Memory Modules
Note: To remove memory modules, you must first remove the compute tray from the enclosure
and remove the cover from the tray. Refer to “Extracting an Installed System Tray” on page 16
and “Removing the Tray Cover” on page 20 for detailed instructions. Be sure to power down the
system and disconnect the power cords from the power outlet before opening the system
enclosure.
To remove a DIMM: Use your thumbs to gently push the release tabs near both ends of the
memory module. This should release it from the slot. Then, lift the DIMM out of the slot.
