Removing Memory Modules
CAUTION: Use extreme care when removing DIMMs. Too much pressure can damage the connector. Apply only enough pressure on the plastic levers to release the DIMM.
1Remove the Memory Riser Cover. See "Removing the Memory Riser Cover" on page 99.
2Open the plastic levers on each end of the DIMM socket(s). The DIMM will lift from the socket.
3Hold the DIMM only by the edges. Do not touch the DIMM components or the gold edge connectors. Store it in an antistatic bag.
4Line up the hooks in the memory riser cover with the notches on the bottom edge of the memory riser.
5Lift the memory riser cover over the DIMMs and let the cover latch snap into place.
6Install the memory riser. See "Installing a Memory Riser" on page 98.
Processors
The system requires 1, 2, or four
Processors must be installed from right to left, i.e., processor 1, then processor 2, then processors 3 and 4.
Each processor and its associated internal cache memory are contained in a pin grid array (PGA) package that is installed in a ZIF socket on the system board.
Your system comes with processors with the same model, stepping, core frequency, and cache size.
Removing a Processor Heat Sink
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.
1Remove power from the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
