3-14 Disassembly and Reassembly
Installing a RIMM or Continuity Module
Install a RIMM module or a continuity module as follows.
1. Remove the cover (see “Removing the Cover” earlier in this section).
2. If you need to remove a currently installed RIMM or continuity module, see “Removing a
RIMM or Continuity Module” earlier in this section.
Before you install a module, reduce static discharge by touching the
chassis.
3. Grasp the new module in the middle and align the notches on the new module with the keys
in an empty RIMM socket (see the following figures).
4. Press the module firmly into the socket.
5. Make sure the locking clips at both ends of the module click closed.
Ensure that both RIMM sockets are filled with two RIMM modules or
one RIMM module and one continuity module. If both sockets are not filled, system memory won’t
work well or at all.
6. Replace the cover (see “Replacing the Cover” earlier in this section).
Note If you find a discrepancy in the amount of memory displayed at the Power-On Self-Test
or in Windows with the amount of memory that you installed, check that you installed the memory
modules correctly.
