    Note: While inserting or removing NV-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.
    Note: Pressing the fault remind button on the motherboard lights up the fault LEDs of the NV-DIMMs even if the power cords are dis-connected. The fault remind button helps to identify the faulted LEDs.
  2. Lift out the NV-DIMM from the slot and set aside on an antistatic mat.
    Note: Visually inspect the DIMM slots, NV-DIMM slots, the DIMM, and the NV-DIMM for physical damage by checking for cracked or broken plastic in the slot.
    Note: Sometimes DIMMs and NV-DIMMs might fault because of dust or improper alignment or damaged slots. Use only compressed air to dust DIMMs or NV-DIMMs.
