Removing a memory module

Before removing a memory module, carefully read “Before starting operation” on page 48 and proceed to the job following the procedure mentioned below:

1If the server is in operation, shut it down and switch off the power.

2Unplug the power cable from the AC outlet.

NOTE: Removing a memory module while the server is still in operation could cause damage to the server and/or the mem- ory module.

3Remove the outer covers and server panels from the server. See “Removing and replacing the server panels” on page 54.

4Remove the power supply unit.

See “Power Supply Unit” on page 69

5Extend the hooks on both sides of the memory slot outwards and remove the memory module out of the slot.

When the hooks of the memory slot are extended outwards, the memory module may occasionally spring from its slot. To avoid this be sure to hold the memory module by hand when removing.
