Removing the DIMM Bracket
If your workstation has a DIMM bracket installed, you have to remove it before you can
install or remove memory. If your workstation does not have a DIMM bracket installed,
skip this section.
Note:
The DIMM bracket is
not
required for normal operation of your workstation. It
was installed in your workstation to protect the DIMMs during shipping.
1.
Remove the DIMM bracket from the rail by pushing it toward the heat sink (see the
warning on page 8), and bowing the bracket upward, as shown in Figure 5.

2. Slide the bracket off the heat sink (see the warning on page 8).
Caution:
Memory modules are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Handle the
modules carefully, and wear the wrist strap.
Store the DIMM bracket in a safe place. If you need to ship your workstation,
reinstall the bracket to protect the DIMMs.
