Removing a memory module or continuity RIMM
In order to install a RIMM, you must first remove the continuity RIMM or
RIMM occupying the connector into which you are installing memory. Use
the following instructions to help you to remove a continuity RIMM or
RIMM.
Before you begin
Ÿ
Turn off the computer and all other connected devices.
Ÿ
Disconnect all cables attached to the computer and remove the
computer cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 61 or
“Removing the cover” on page 77).
Attention: The presence of 5 V standby power might result in
damage to your hardware unless you disconnect the power cord
from the wall before opening the computer cover.
1. To locate the memory connectors inside your computer, see
“Identifying parts on the system board” on page 64 (desktop) or
“Identifying parts on the system board” on page 78 (tower).
2. At both ends of the memory module connector, push outward on the
retaining clips until the module is loosened. Lift the memory module
or continuity RIMM out of the connector.
Note: Be careful not to push too hard on the retaining clips because
the memory or continuity RIMM may abruptly eject from the
connector.
3. Store the memory or continuity RIMM in a static-protective package.
