LS/VS550 OWNER’S HANDBOOK 5/9
To remove a DIMM
1.
Gently press the tabs on both of the end clips at the same time.
This will release the DIMM and lift it out of its socket.
2. Lift the module clear of its socket. Hold it by its ends and
avoid touching the metal contacts.
3.
Place the DIMM in suitable anti-static packaging.
When you have finished, replace and reconnect the drive module
you removed earlier, then refit and secure the system unit cover.
The first time you turn on the computer after adding or removing
memory, the change will be automatically detected by the system
BIOS, if an error message occurs check that you have:
♦
Correctly fitted the DIMMs in their slots.
♦
fitted DIMMs of the correct type.
It may be necessary to refit the original memory to check if there is
a problem with your new modules. If in any doubt contact your
supplier. Remember that all new DIMMs must carry the
appropriate approval markings etc. to avoid invalidating the system
certifications.
