NOTICE:
Never remove the memory cooling shroud without first powering down the system. Overheating of the
system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown of the system and the loss of data.
4 Locate the memory module sockets on the system board. See Figure 6-2.
CAUTION:
The DIMMs are hot to the touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow time
for the DIMMs to cool before handling them. Handle the DIMMs by the card edges and avoid touching the DIMM
components.
5 Press the ejectors on the memory module socket down and out, as shown in Figure 3-27, to allow the
memory module to be inserted into the socket.
Figure 3-27. Installing and Removing a Memory Module
6 Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment key on the memory module socket, and
insert the memory module in the socket.
NOTE:
The memory module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the memory module in the
socket in only one way.
7 Press down on the memory module with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejectors with your index
fingers to lock the memory module into the socket.
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket
align with the ejectors on the other sockets that have memory modules installed.
8 Repeat step 3 through step 7 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules.
