Locate the memory module sockets on the system board. See Figure 6-2.
CAUTION: The DIMMs are hot to the touch for some time after the system has
been powered down. Allow the DIMMs to cool before handling them. Handle the
DIMMs by the card edges, and avoid touching the DIMM components.

Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the socket until the
memory module pops out of the socket. See Figure 3-19.

Replace the memory cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud"

NOTICE: Never operate your system with the memory cooling shroud removed.
Overheating of the system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown of the
system and the loss of data.

Activating the Integrated NIC TOE
To add TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) or iSCSI TOE functionality to the

hardware key in the TOE_KEY socket on the system board (
see Figure 6-2.)
Processors
You can upgrade your processor(s) to take advantage of future options in
speed and functionality. Each processor and its associated internal cache
memory are contained in a land grid array (LGA) package that is installed in a
ZIF socket on the system board.
