Line Card Memory
Figure 50 Handling a DIMM
Caution When inserting DIMMs into a socket, apply firm, but not excessive, pressure. If you damage a DIMM
socket, you must return the line card for repair.
Step 6 Gently insert the DIMM into the socket and push until the DIMM snaps into place and the release lever
is flush against the side of the socket.
Step 7 Verify that the release lever is flush against the side of the socket. If it is not, the DIMM might not be
seated properly. On a socket with dual release levers, both levers should be flush against the sides of the
DIMM.
If the module appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it, ensuring that the release lever is flush
against the side of the DIMM socket.
Step 8 Repeat Step 3 through Step 7 to install any remaining DIMMs for your memory configuration.
Removing a SODIMM
To remove a SODIMM, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2 Place the line card on an antistatic mat so that the faceplate is nearest to you.
Step 3 Locate the route memory socket on the line card.
Step 4 If present, remove the SODIMM retaining clip from the memory module socket. Grasp the latch arm
intersection located on each side of the clip and gently slide the clip out. (See Figure 51.) Save the
retaining clip.
Note Some line cards do not require a retaining clip.
