16.5.2 Removing memory
This section describes the procedure for removing memory. Perform reduction using the same procedure.
When replacing the motherboard unit, the memory should be removed from the old unit and remounted on the new unit. Mount the memory in the same memory mounting location as that before replacement.
To remove memory, see "2.2 Checking the Memory Configuration Rules."
Caution - Before you handle any components, wear a wrist strap to ground any static electricity. If you perform this procedure without a wrist strap, individual components or the overall system may be damaged. For details, see "1.4 Precautions on Static Electricity."
  1. Move the latch of the memory slot outward, and then remove the memory by pulling it straight up.
Note - Make a note of the mounting locations of memory before removing them to ensure that they are reinstalled correctly.
Note - Place the removed memory on a grounded antistatic ESD mat.
