You may need to remove a memory module if you change the memory configuration or replace a bad module. By default, your computer’s memory sockets are filled with DDR-DIMM modules.

!Before opening the system unit, save and close all open files, exit all open applications, turn off the power to all attached peripheral devices, shut down the computer, and unplug the power cord.

1Remove the side panel (see “Removing the Side Panel” on page 24).

Remove the power supply to access the memory modules underneath.*

2Remove the power supply (see “Removing the Power Supply (PCV-RX series models)” on page 49).*

!Touch any exposed metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity in your body before handling the memory module.

3 Locate the memory module you wish to remove.

* Applicable to PCV-RX models only.
