Figure 8-5 Removing a Memory Module
If you removed a failed memory module, insert it in an antistatic bagand return it to
Data General. Contact the Customer Support Center, as described in the Preface, for
information on returningthe faulty part. If you temporarily removed a memory
module, insert it in an antistatic baguntil you are ready to reinstall it. If you removed
all memory modules to replace another system component, return now to the chapter
in this manual that instructed you to remove the memory modules. Otherwise,
continue to the next section, InstallingMemory Modules," to install a new memory
module.

any memory modules are installed to the right of the memory modules you are
installing, you must remove them temporarily if you have not done so already.
To install a memory module, use the followingsteps.
1. Carefully remove the memory module from its package. Save the antistatic
shippingbagand packingmaterials in case you need to return the module.
CAUTION: If you need to set the memory module down, put it back inside the
antistatic shipping bag.
