4. Use the CPU module's DIMM diagnostics to locate the DIMM that you want to remove from the CPU module.
5. To remove the DIMM, rotate both DIMM slot locking handles outward as far as they will go.

   This action partially ejects the DIMM from the socket.

   
   
6. Carefully lift the DIMM straight up to remove it from the socket.
