6.12 System Board Components
6.12.1 Memory Module
Memory may be expanded by adding one or more DIMMs at a time onto the system board.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional boards.
Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching
a grounded metal object.
CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so can
damage the module.
To remove a memory module, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the access panel (Section 6.6.1).
2. Remove the riser brace (Section 6.7).
3. Press outward on both latches of the DIMM socket at the same time. This releases the module
and partially pushes it out of the socket.
4. Lift the module from the socket.
