1. Remove the memory module cover.
2. Ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal surface of an I/O
connector on the computer’s back panel.
3. To release the memory module from its socket, carefully spread apart
the inner tabs of the memory module socket just far enough for the
memory module to disengage from the socket (it should pop up slightly)
(see Figure 7).
4. Lift the memory module out of its socket.
To replace a memory module, perform the following steps:
1. Align the memory module’s edge connector with the slot in the center of
the memory module socket.
Memory modules are keyed, or designed to fit into their sockets in only
one direction. The slots on the system board are notched so that the
memory module can be firmly seated only one way.
2. With the module at a 45-degree angle, press the memory module’s edge
connector firmly into the memory module socket.
3. Pivot the memory module down until it clicks into place.
4. If you do not hear a click as each end of the memory module snaps into the
tabs, remove the memory module and reinstall it.
