Upgrading DRAM on the CIP2 7
Upgrading DRAM on the CIP2
Step 5
Remove the SIMM by pulling outward on the connectors to unlatch it, as shown in
Figure 5. Be careful not to break the holders on the SIMM connector.
Step 6
Carefully lift the SIMM out of the SIMM socket.

Removing and Replacing DRAM SIMMs
Step 7
Using the SIMM orientation shown in Figure 5, position the new SIMM so that the
polarization notch is located at the right end of the SIMM socket.
Step 8
Insert the new SIMM by sliding the end with the metal fingers into the SIMM connector
socket at approximately a 45-degree angle to the system card. Gently rock the SIMM
back into place until the latch on either side snaps into place. Do not use excessive force
or the connector could break.
Caution
To prevent damage, do not push on the center of the SIMMs. Handle each SIMM with
care.
Step 9
Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the second SIMM.
Step 10
Reinstall the CIP2 in the chassis using the procedure in the section “Installing a CIP2” on
page 8.
If error messages relating to memory are displayed once power to the chassis is turned
back on, or the CIP2 card is installed in a chassis that is already on, repeat steps 1 through
8, taking care to firmly reseat each SIMM in its socket.
This completes the procedure for replacing DRAM SIMMs.

Pull the tabs away with
your thumbs, bracing your
forefingers against the
posts. Raise the SIMM
to a vertical position.
