Step 3. Locate the DIMM connectors (see “System-board connectors” on page 17). Determine which
DIMM you want to remove from the compute node.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, handle the
clips gently.
Step 4. Make sure that both retaining clips on the DIMM connector from which you are removing the
DIMM are in the open position.
Step 5. Pull the DIMM out of the connector.
Step 6. If you are not immediately replacing the DIMM, install the air baffle.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the compute node without air
baffles installed over the DIMM connectors.
If you are instructed to return the DIMM, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials
for shipping that are supplied to you.
