42 Maintaining and Troubleshooting the Gateway ALR 9200 Server
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Static Electricity
Precautions” on page 2.
2. Remove the memory module and place it component-side up on a
nonconductive, static-free surface (see “Removing the Memory
Module” on page 40).
3. Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject a DIMM
from its socket.
4. Hold the DIMM only by its edges, being careful not to touch its
components or gold edge connectors. Carefully lift it away from the
socket and store it in an antistatic package.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to remove other DIMMs as necessary.
If you are replacing DIMMs, proceed to “Installing DIMMs” on
page 43. If you are removing DIMMs, continue this procedure.
6. Reinstall the memory module (see “Installing the Memory Module”
on page 44).
7. Reinstall the foam cover.
8. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws.
9. Connect all external cables and power cords to the system.
10. Turn on the monitor and then the system.
11. Run the SSU/BIOS Setup (see “Advanced Chipset Control Submenu”
on page 91 and “Resource Configuration Add-in Window” on
page 112) to configure the system and to properly set up advanced
memory attributes as required.
To Remove DIMMs
Caution!
Use extreme care when
removing a DIMM. Too
much pressure can damage
the socket. Apply only
enough pressure on the
plastic ejector levers to
release the DIMM.
