Replacing the Non-Volatile Memory
Notice: Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic
wrist strap.
1. Power off the system and remove the left side panel
as described earlier in this chapter.
2. If the non-volatile memory is secured by a tie-wrap,
remove the tie-wrap. Using a IC removal tool or a
small pointed tool, gently pry up each end of the
non-volatile memory and pull it straight up out of its
socket (Figure 5-9).
3. Orient the new chip over its socket so the dot is
properly oriented. Carefully insert the chip into its
socket connectors.
4. Press down on the chip until it is firmly seated in its
socket.
5. Replace the side panel and turn on the system.
6. Run the BIOS SETUP and SCU to restore proper
configuration settings.
