Removing Memory Modules
WARNING: The DIMMs are hot to touch for some time after the blade has been powered down.
Allow time for the DIMMs to cool before handling them. Handle the DIMMs by the card edges and
avoid touching the DIMM components.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, memory-module blanks must be installed in any
memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory-module blanks only if you intend to install
memory modules in those sockets.
CAUTION: If you are permanently removing a processor, you must install a socket protective cap
and a processor/DIMM blank in the vacant socket to ensure proper system cooling. The
processor/DIMM blank covers the vacant sockets for the DIMMs and the processor.
