12.Hold the retaining levers of the memory board by its edges and start to insert it into the slot guides. Do not press in on the board yet! Ease board into the slot guides until it is just touching its connector.

13.Be sure the retaining levers are extended so they can engage the chassis frame. Press the board carefully but firmly into its connector to seat the board. Close the retaining levers on both sides of the memory board. Be sure the retaining levers are firmly fastened in the chassis frame before closing the ejector.

14.Fasten the left side of the memory board cover into the chassis frame and swing the memory board cover into position so that the rear edge of the memory board fits snug against the cover. The memory board cover is secured to the chassis by a plastic snap fastener. Push in on the plastic snap fastener until it clicks in the locked position.

15.Install the BSU front bezel. See Installing/Removing the BSU Front Bezel and Top Cover earlier in this chapter.

16.If tower-based system, reattach the top cover of the tower cabinet. See Installing the Top Cover of the Tower Cabinet earlier in this chapter.

17.Plug in the power cords and power up the system.

18.Run the BIOS Setup and select Memory Reconfiguration on the Advanced Menu to verify that the status of the added memory shows Normal.

19.Select Yes for Reset Configuration Data in the Advanced Menu. Selecting Yes updates the hardware configuration information.

Removing DIMMs

Remove DIMMs from their sockets as follows.

1.Perform steps 1 through 7 of the previous subsection Installing DIMMs to remove the memory board.

2.Remove the DIMM modules from the memory board four at a time.

Note: Use extreme care when removing a DIMM. Hold DIMMs only by their edges. Place them on an antistatic surface; do not slide them across any surface. Applying too much pressure can break the retaining clips or damage the socket slot. Apply only enough pressure on the retaining clips to release the DIMM.

3.To remove each DIMM, gently spread the retaining levers (see Figure 4-34) just enough so that you can pull the top edge of the DIMM away from the levers.
