Add or Remove Memory

The CPU board in the computer has two sockets. Each socket
supports a Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM).

Guidelines for Replacing Memory

When adding memory to the CPU board, follow these guidelines:

Always handle the memory module by the ends not by the
contacts.

Store memory in a sealed anti-static bag when it is not installed.

Never install or remove memory with the power turned on.

Replace the Memory

1. Identify the memory module that is in the socket.

If the memory stick is either 6189V-DIMM128 or
6189V-DIMM256, you must remove it. Install (2)
6189V-DIMM512 memory sticks instead.

2. Remove the existing memory module from the CPU card by

clipping the cable tie and pressing outward on the retaining
latches.

The DIMM sockets are on the side of the CPU board.

3. To install a new DIMM, hold the memory module only by the

edges as you remove it from its anti-static package.

4. Position the DIMM so that the small notches in the bottom edge

of the DIMM align with the notches in the DIMM socket on the
CPU card.

ATTENTION

!

Failure to follow proper safety precautions could
result in severe electrical shock and/or damage to
the computer.

ATTENTION

!

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the
computer and components. Make sure you work in a
static-safe environment and wear a grounding strap
whenever handling circuit boards, power supply,
memory sticks or other internal components.
