memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components or
metallic contacts on the memory module.

memory module blanks must be installed in memory sockets that are not
occupied. Remove memory module blanks only if you intend to install memory
modules in those sockets.

the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.
2. Push the ejectors outward on both ends of the memory module socket to
release the memory module from the socket.
