P2 - P5 Powerstations: DRAM Replacement
3. Tilt the DRAM module forward, slightly, and slide it up to remove it
from the socket.
4. Place the DRAM module in an anti-static bag for storage if you do not
plan to reinstall the DRAM module at this time.
Installing a DRAM Module
The following instructions explain how to install a DRAM module on the
CPU card of a P2, P3, P4 or P5 PowerStation.
Important
The PNY (manufacturer) type DRAM module will not fit properly
on a P2 PowerStation. It blocks the Power Supply mounting screws.
1. Carefully insert the DRAM module into its socket at a 30-degree
angle.
2. Gently but firmly push the module upright into the socket until the
metal clips snap into place, securing the module.
3. Visually inspect the DRAM module to ensure that it is fully seated in
the socket.
If you have a P2 PowerStation, continue with the following section,
Reassembling a P2 PowerStation. If you have a P3-P5 Powerstation, skip
the following section and continue with the next section, Reassembling a
P3-P5 PowerStation on page 8.
Reassembling a P2 PowerStation
When you are finished installing the DRAM, follow these steps to
reassemble the P2 PowerStation.
1. When you are certain the DRAM is properly and securely installed in
the slots, turn the CPU card over and slide it into its slot.
2. Connect the ribbon cables to the unit.
3. Tighten the screw that secures the CPU card support bracket. This
screw is located inside the unit, just above the VGA port.
4. Tighten the screw that secures the CPU card to the supply board.
5. Replace the back cover, tightening the two screws to secure the cover
into place.
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
