Removing SDRAM DIMMs
Use the following procedure to remove the existing DIMMs:
Step 1 Turn off the system power and remove the VIP6-80 from the system. (Follow the steps in the “Removing
a VIP6-80” section on page 18 .)
Step 2 Place the VIP6-80 on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such
as a wrist strap.
Step 3 Position the VIP6-80 so that the handles are away from you and the bus connectors are toward
you—opposite of the position shown in
Figure 2 .
Step 4 Locate the DIMM and position the VIP6-80 so that you are facing the DIMM module you want to
remove.
Step 5 Open the DIMM socket tabs on the DIMM to release the DIMM from the socket. (See Figure 9 .) The
DIMM is under tension in the socket; therefore, the DIMM might be released from the socket with some
force.

Step 6 With the DIMM socket tabs open, grasp the ends of the DIMM between your thumbs and forefingers and
pull the DIMM completely out of the socket. (See
Figure 10 .)

Step 7 Place a removed DIMM on an antistatic mat, and store it in an antistatic container to protect it from ESD
damage.
