Removing a memory module from the 9105-22A, 9105-22B, or 9786-22H system

To remove a memory module from the system, complete the steps in this procedure.

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.
  2. Based on the memory location you are working on, remove the retainer that secures the memory for that location.
    For the side memory module location, push out on the memory retainer latches to release the retainer. Then, lift the retainer up.
