To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface (such as a connector on the back of the computer)

If a memory module is installed in the DIMM 2 connector, remove it prior to removing the memory module from the DIMM 1 connector. Failure to do so could result in damaging both memory modules.

Ground yourself by touching one of the metal connectors on the back of the computer.

If you leave the area, ground yourself again when you return to the computer.

Turn the computer over, loosen the captive screws on the memory module cover, and then remove the cover.
