Reinstalling a Memory Module

See Figure 13-4.
1. Observe the precautions on page 115, “Safety Guidelines.”
2. Being careful not to touch the components on the memory module, remove it from its
protective wrapper. Place the module DIMM-side up on a nonconductive, static-free surface.
3. Record the serial number of the memory module in your equipment log.
4. Remove any installed DIMM from the removed memory module and reinstall them in the
replacement memory module.
NOTE
The memory module installs DIMM-side down.
5. Grasp the memory module by the eject/insert levers, and carefully slide it into the slot guides
until the levers engage with the flanges in front of the guides.
6. Simultaneously rotate the levers inward until they are flush with the edge of the module to seat
the pin-and-socket connector of the module into the pin-and-socket connector of the midplane.
7. If you removed the LCD module, reinstall it as described earlier.
8. Reinstall the memory module cover as described in Chapter 12.
