Optional: Removing the memory risers
If you only have three people available to lift the system, you must also remove the memory risers.
Removing the memory risers makes the system chassis lighter so that three people are able to lift it into
the rack. If you have four people available to lift the system, you can skip this step.
Before you begin
Use tape, a marker, or a pencil to mark the location of each component that you remove. The marks are
helpful as a reference when you replace each component.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
