ATTENTION: Be sure to read and understand the entire installation or
removal procedure first, before you begin configuring the computer
hardware.
Review the specifications of a new component before installing it to make
sure it is compatible with the computer. Record the model and serial number,
and any other pertinent information of new components, for future reference.
ESD can damage the computer and components. Make sure you work in a
static-safe environment and wear a grounding strap whenever handling
circuit boards, power supplies, memory modules, or other internal
components.

This forces the module up in the slot and makes it easier to remove.
6. Gently remove the memory module from its slot (4).
7. Place the memory module on a static-dissipating work surface or inside
an antistatic bag.
8. Hold the new memory module by its edge and remove it from its
protective packaging.
9. Orient the module so that the notch on its bottom edge aligns with the
keyed surface of the DIMM slot (5).
10. Push the module at both ends to seat it fully into the slot (6).
The holding clips will automatically lock into place once the module has
been seated.
11. Fasten a replacement cable tie around the DIMM slot latches (7).
