Removing Memory Modules

If you need to remove memory modules from your computer, have your dealer do it for you or follow the steps below. If you remove them yourself, check the table on page 4-19 to be sure you remove SIMMs from the correct sockets.

Caution

It is safer to have your dealer remove SIMMs for you since there is a danger of transmitting an electrostatic discharge and damaging your components.

1.Remove the computer’s cover and subassembly as described in Chapter 3.

2.Use your fingers or two small screwdrivers to pull away the metal tabs that secure the SIMM at each end. Be careful not to pull the tabs too far, or they may break.
