    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 DIMM slots, and the DIMM, for physical damage by checking for cracked or broken plastic in the slot.
    Note: Sometimes DIMMs might fault because of dust or improper alignment or damaged slots. Use only compressed air to dust DIMMs.
