5–4 Adding and Removing Memory
Publication 6180-6.0
Internal 6180 Computer components may be damaged by Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). Make sure you wear a grounding strap whenever
handling circuit boards, memory modules or other internal components.
ATTENTION: Wear a wrist strap (well grounded) and
perform work in a static safe environment. Electrostatic
discharge can damage the 6180 Computer and
components.
Also observe the following precautions:
•
Always handle the memory cards by the ends not by the memory
module contacts.
•
Store memory in an anti–static bag when it is not installed.
•
Never install or remove memory with the power turned on.
To add or remove memory:
1. Disconnect power from the 6180 Computer.
ATTENTION: Disconnect all power from the 6180
Computer before adding and removing components.
Failure to disconnect power could result in severe
electrical shock or damage to the 6180 Computer.
2. Remove the back panel of the 6180 Computer.
See the “Removing the Back Panel and Accessory Drive Cover”
section (on page 4-2 for details on how to remove the back panel.
3. Remove the 5 screws securing the power supply (see illustration,
next page).
Note:
You do not have to disconnect the power supply wiring.
Carefully position the power supply out of the way.
Carefully remove the power supply while noting how the cabling is
dressed in the unit. Also note that air diverting flap(s) are attached
to the power supply. Observe the position of the air diverting flap(s)
for later re–installation. Be careful not to damage them. Because of
the limited length of the main supply cable harness to the
motherboard, the power supply can be moved only to the point that it
just clears the edge of the chassis.
