Removing DIMMs
CAUTION
Use extreme care when removing a DIMM. Too much
pressure can damage the socket slot. Apply only enough
pressure on the plastic ejector levers to release the DIMM
1. Power off the system and remove the left side panel as described earlier in
this chapter.
2.
Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject a DIMM from its
socket.
3. Hold the DIMM only by its edges, being careful not to touch its components
or gold edge connectors. Carefully lift it away from the socket, and store it
in an antistatic package.
4.
Repeat the above steps to remove the remaining DIMMs.
5.
Replace the side panel and turn on the system.
Option Boards
This section describes how to install and remove PCI option boards. The system
board has five PCI bus expansion slots..
The high-performance PCI local bus allows the adoption of newer networking
technology, such as 100 MB/second Ethernet NICs, with a minimum of effort
and without concern for I/O bottlenecks. The PCI local bus offers up to 133
MB/second bandwidth.
Installation Considerations
Newer adapters, designed for Plug-and-Play systems, are automatically
configured by the system without any user intervention.
