Removing DIMMs

See Figure 6-4.

1.Observe the warnings and cautions on page 3, “Safety Guidelines.”

2.Remove the left side cover and memory module as described in Chapter 4, "Working Inside Your System."

3.Hold the module only by its edges, being careful not to touch its components or gold edge connectors, and place it on an antistatic surface.

4.Starting with the first DIMM-filled socket closest to the top edge of the module, remove the DIMMs one at a time.

5.Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject the DIMM from its socket (Figure 6-4).

6.Carefully lift the DIMM away from the socket and store it in an antistatic package.
