Removing a memory module
NOTE: Do not hold a DIMM by its connecting terminal. If touched, the module may
not maintain a good contact once installed.
CAUTION: Memory modules can be seriously damaged by static electricity. Wear a
wrist or heel ground cable to discharge static electricity carried on your body. If such
equipment is not available, touch a grounded metal object to discharge static
electricity before working on sensitive electronic components.
Mixing dissimilar metals may cause memory failures resulting in data corruption.
Install DIMMs with gold-plated edge connectors in gold-plated sockets only.
CAUTION: Removing a memory module while the server is on could cause damage
to the server or the memory module.
