Removing a DIMM
Before you begin
Ÿ
Read “Safety information” on page 70 and “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 72.
Ÿ
Turn the server and all other connected devices off.
Ÿ
Disconnect all cables attached to the server and remove the
server cover (see “Preparing to install and remove options”
on page 75).
Ÿ
Read “Accessing the system board” on page 84.
1. Locate the DIMM you want to remove on the system board. To
locate the desired DIMM, see “Identifying parts on the system
board” on page 82.
2. If an adapter, the air baffle, or cables restrict your access to the
memory connectors, you might have to remove them.
Ÿ
To remove an adapter, see “Removing adapters” on
page 107.
Ÿ
To remove the air baffle, see “Removing and replacing the
air baffle” on page 84.
3. At both ends of the DIMM connector, push outward on the
retaining clips until the DIMM is loosened.
Note: Be careful not to push too hard on the retaining clips
because the DIMM might eject abruptly from the
connector.
