lose this part. It might be needed later if you change the memory configuration.
Installing a RIMM or C-RIMM
Complete the following steps to install a RIMM or C-RIMM:
1. Read the instructions that come with the new system memory.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords from the computer and remove
the computer cover (see “Removing the cover and front bezel” on page 47).
4. Remove any C-RIMMs that are in the slots where you want to add RIMMs.
5. Touch the static-protective package containing the RIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the computer. Then remove the RIMM or C-RIMM from the
package.
6. Install the RIMMs in the next highest numbered RIMM slots.
7. Position the RIMM or C-RIMM above the connector so that the two notches on
the bottom edge of the module align properly with the empty connector.
Note: Pay attention to the orientation of the notches on the connectors and
RIMMs. Adjacent connectors might not have the same orientation on
the memory board.
8. Firmly push the module straight down into the connector until the retaining
clips pop up and fit snugly around both ends of the module.
