If an ESD mat is not available, you can place the blade server on the antistatic
envelope in which it was packaged.
Caution – Do not place blade servers on top of an antistatic bag unless the outside
of the bag also has antistatic protective properties.
2. Take antistatic precautions: Attach and electrically ground the wrist strap.
Caution – Always wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap when handling DIMMs.
3. Simultaneously pull both spring retainer clips outward from the slot for the
DIMM you want to remove.

same size as its paired DIMM.
