Use the following procedure to perform a memory upgrade:

1.Remove the computer cover according to the instructions in “Removing the Computer Cover” in Chapter 6.

CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electro- static Discharge” in the safety instructions at the front of this guide.

2.Remove the system board assembly according to the instructions in “Removing the System Board Assembly” in Chapter 6.

Lay the system board assembly on a flat work sur- face so you can easily access the DIMM sockets.

3.Determine the DIMM sockets into which you will install or replace DIMMs.

See the previous subsection, “DIMM Installation Guidelines.”
