Removing Memory Modules

WARNING:

The memory modules are hot to touch for some time after the system

has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to cool before
handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching
the components on the memory module.

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.

CAUTION:

To ensure proper system cooling, memory-module blanks must be

installed in any memory socket that is not occupied. Install a memory-module
blank if you are removing a memory module and do not intend to install a
replacement.

1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect

the system from the electrical outlet and peripherals.

2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 59.
3 Remove the expansion-card stabilizer. See "Removing the Expansion-Card

Stabilizer" on page 78.

4 Remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing the Cooling Shroud" on

page 79.

5 Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure 6-1.

CAUTION:

Handle each memory module only by the card edges, ensuring not to

touch the components on the module.

6 Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the socket until the

memory module pops out of the socket. See Figure 3-17.
