Zenith Data Systems MT2000 manual Installing the Processor/Memory Board, Removing DIMMs

5-17

Removing DIMMs

Notice: Use extreme care when removing a DIMM. Hold DIMMs only by their edges. Place them on an antistatic surface; do not side 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.

1.Remove the processor/memory board as described earlier in this section.

2.Remove the DIMM modules one at a time starting from the highest numbered sockets.

3.To remove each DIMM, gently spread the retaining clips (Figure 5-5, C) just enough so that you can pull the top edge of the DIMM (B) away from the clips.

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

5.Repeat the above steps to remove the remaining DIMMs.

6.Install the processor/memory board back into the system as described later in this chapter.

Installing the Processor/Memory Board

This procedure assumes you are reinstalling the processor/memory board you removed previously (see Removing the Processor/Memory Board).

1.Be careful not to touch components or gold edge connectors on the processor/memory board as you remove it from its protective wrapper. Place board component-side up on an antistatic surface. If you need to set any of the processor board configuration jumpers, refer to the Configuring System Board Jumpers section in the Configuring Your System chapter.

2.On the system board, locate the processor/memory board connector (Figure 5-6, A).
