Removing a DDR module

Figure 4 - 22 : DDR Memory Module Sample

If your memory configuration requires the removal of a module, perform the following
steps:

1. Remove the computer right side door. See “Removing the Right Side Door:” on

page 4-6.

2. Locate the memory upgrade sockets on the motherboard.
3. Press the plastic clips at the outer edge of the socket away from the memory

module. This ejects the memory module from the socket. Don't touch the mod-
ule's metal "fingers." Store the module in an anti-static bag (available at elec-
tronic supply stores) or a cardboard box.

Installing a DDR module

1. Remove the computer right side door. See “Removing the Right Side Door:” on

page 4-6.

2. If you need to remove a currently installed memory module, refer to the above

section.

3. Align the new module with an empty memory socket. Make sure the notch on the

module aligns with the key in the socket. The module is designed to install into
the socket in only one way.

4. Press the module firmly into the socket. If you have difficulty installing a mod-

ule, do not force it! Carefully remove the module, then check the alignment of
the module's notch with the one in the socket. Then re-install the module.
