Replacing DRAM and SDRAM
SIMMs are manufactured with a polarization notch to ensure proper orientation and alignment holes to
ensure proper positioning. Figure 7 shows the polarization notch and alignment holes on a SIMM.
DRAM SIMMs are installed with the connector edge down and the polarization notch near the front of
the chassis.
Caution To avoid damaging ESD-sensitive components, observe all ESD precautions. To avoid damaging the
underlying mainboard, do not use excessive force when you remove or replace SIMMs.

Removing DRAM SIMMs
Follow these steps to remove DRAM SIMMs:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the
equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the
connectors.
Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the DRAM SIMM sockets. (See Figure 5 or Figure 6.)
Caution Handle the SIMM by the nonconnector edges only; do not press on the center. Handle carefully. SIMMs
are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling.
Step 3 Remove one SIMM at a time, beginning with the SIMM in bank 3. To lift the SIMM out of its socket,
pull the locking spring clips on both sides outward and tilt the SIMM toward the right side of the
chassis until it is free of the clips. (See Figure 8.)
