1.Unlatch the cover release lever on the top cover and remove the memory carrier assembly cover. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 57).

NOTE: You do not need to fully remove the top cover to service this component; however, the top cover release lever must be open.

2.Press the button located in the center of the memory carrier assembly to release the extraction handles (Figure 3-7).

CAUTION: Manipulate the extraction handles with care. Failure to observe this caution can result in damage to the extraction handles.

3.Pull up on the extraction handles and rotate them outward 90 degrees (Figure 3-7). The handles latch into the open position with an audible click.

4.Lift the memory carrier assembly out of the chassis (Figure 3-7).

NOTE: To avoid damage to the handles, HP recommends rotating the handles inward and snapping them into place when servicing the system DIMMs, or any time the carrier is out of the chassis. Before replacing the memory carrier, press the button to release the extraction handles. Use the handles to replace the memory carrier into the chassis.
