Installing Memory Modules

WARNING: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

WARNING: The memory modules are hot to the touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to cool before handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components on the memory module.

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and peripherals.

2Rotate the system feet inward and lay the system on a flat surface.

3Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 85.

4Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure 6-1.

5Remove the memory-module blanks, if any, from the sockets in which you plan to install memory modules:

Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the socket until the memory-module blank pops out of the socket. See Figure 3-11.

6Handle each memory module only on either card edge, ensuring not to touch the middle of the memory module.
