Removing SDRAM DIMMS

Perform this procedure to remove SDRAM DIMMs:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.

Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the SDRAM DIMM sockets shown in Figure 5-11.

Caution Handle DIMMs by the edges only. DIMMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling.

Step 3 Remove the DIMM by pushing the locking spring clips on both sides outward. This ejects the DIMM from its socket. (See Figure 5-13.)

Step 4 Hold the DIMM by the edges with your thumb and index finger and lift it out of the socket. Place the removed DIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.

Step 5 If necessary, repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for the other DIMM.
