Remove a DIMM or DIMM Filler
 | Caution - This procedure requires handling components that are sensitive to ESD. Follow antistatic practices to avoid damage or component failure. |
DIMMs or DIMM fillers must be removed:
-
When adding memory to the server.
-
When replacing faulty DIMMs.
You can perform this procedure, but the server must first be completely powered down and all power cords unplugged. See Component Service Categories for more information about cold-service procedures.
 | Caution - Whenever you remove a DIMM or a DIMM filler, you should replace it with another DIMM or DIMM filler before powering on the server. Otherwise, the server might overheat due to improper airflow. |
-
Press down both DIMM slot ejector tabs as far as they can go.
- Carefully lift the DIMM straight up and place it on an antistatic mat.
