2. Eject the NVDIMM from its slot by slowly pushing apart the two NVDIMM ejector tabs on either side of the
NVDIMM, and then slide the NVDIMM out of the socket and set it aside.
Carefully hold the NVDIMM by the edges to avoid pressure on the components on the
NVDIMM circuit board.
3. Remove the replacement NVDIMM from the antistatic shipping bag, hold the NVDIMM by the corners, and
then align it to the slot.
The notch among the pins on the NVDIMM should line up with the tab in the socket.
4. Locate the slot where you are installing the NVDIMM.
5. Insert the NVDIMM squarely into the slot.
The NVDIMM fits tightly in the slot, but should go in easily. If not, realign the NVDIMM with the slot and
reinsert it.
Visually inspect the NVDIMM to verify that it is evenly aligned and fully inserted into the slot.
6. Push carefully, but firmly, on the top edge of the NVDIMM until the ejector tabs snap into place over the
notches at the ends of the NVDIMM.
7. Close the air duct.
