    Note: Pressing on the fault remind button on the motherboard lights up the fault LED. The fault remind button helps to identify the faulted DIMMs. However, press the fault remind button only when necessary, because the capacitor powering up the fault remind button can be sustained only for 60 seconds.
    Note: While inserting or removing DIMMs, ensure that there is no interference with the cables. Pulling or pressing down on the cables might cause damage to the cables during the replacement procedure.
  2. Lift out the DIMM and set aside on an antistatic mat.
    Note: Visually inspect the slots and the memory for physical damage by checking for cracked or broken plastic in the slot.
    Note: Sometimes memory might fault because of dust or improper alignment or damaged slots. Use only compressed air to dust the memory.
