Replacing DIMMs

Open the filer, as described in Opening the filer. Make sure both power cords are unplugged from the filer.

Move the cable out of the slotted tab, loosen the thumbscrews on the cooling shroud, then swing the shroud up and out of the way.

Locate the DIMM you want to remove, then press down and outward on the ejectors at the end of the DIMM socket, until the DIMM pops free of the socket, then left free, as shown in the following figure.

Go to Installing a DIMM for installation instructions.

Align the new DIMM with the socket. Make sure that the notches at the end of the DIMM are aligned with the DIMM ejectors.

Note
You can only insert the DIMM one way into the DIMM socket. If the DIMM does not fit properly, turn the DIMM 180 degrees and reinsert it into the socket.

Press down on the DIMM while pulling up on the ejectors to lock the memory module into the socket.

Reinstall the cooling shroud.

Close the filer as described in Closing the filer.
