Gently place the unit on its side. If necessary, remove any cables, add-on cards, or other components to access
the RIMM slots.
Remove the power supply before installing the memory modules, by following these steps:
Remove the screw that secures the power supply unit to the chassis.
Pull the tab that releases the power supply from the chassis.
Slide the power supply unit up until it clears the chassis.
Rotate the power supply to an upside down position and rest it on top of the chassis.
Caution:
RDRAM RIMMs must be upgraded in pairs. Do not leave the second slot of either bank empty. The second
slot must be filled with either RIMM or C-RIMM modules. Use only PC-800 RDRAM RIMMs.
5.
Handle the RIMM only by the edges, and remove it from its anti-static package.

Locate the notches on the bottom edge of the RIMM.
7.
Align the module over the available memory slots.

place.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the RIMM slot, move the RIMM latches slightly outward to relieve pressure. The module
clicks into place.
