inside the RIMM sockets.
MOUNTING NOTCH
EJECTOR
2. With the ejectors in the open position (as shown), push down gently but firmly
on the memory module until it snaps into place. The guides on the socket's
ejectors should go through the two mounting notches on the module and the
ejectors should close. If necessary, push the ejectors inward to secure the mod-
ule in place.
Removing Memory
To release a memory module, push both ejectors outward and pull the module straight
up and out of the RIMM sockets.
WARNING!
RIMM modules become extremely hot during operation. To re-
duce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the modules to cool off
before removing them.
