Installing a RIMM or C-RIMM
Before you begin
Ÿ
Read the instructions that come with the new memory RIMM.
Ÿ
Turn off the computer and all other connected devices.
Ÿ
Disconnect all cables attached to the computer and remove the
computer cover (see “Disconnecting cables and removing the
cover” on page 64).
To install a memory RIMM or continuity RIMM:
1. Locate the RIMM connectors inside your computer. See “Locating
system board components” on page 69.
2. Remove the RIMM occupying the RIMM connector. See “Removing a
RIMM or C-RIMM” on page 71 for instructions on removing a RIMM.
Do not discard or lose this part. It might be needed later if you change
your memory configuration.
3. Touch the static-protective package containing the RIMM to any
unpainted metal surface in the computer, and then remove the RIMM.
4. Position the RIMM above the empty connector so that the two notches
on the bottom edge align properly with the connector.
