128 Installing System Components1. Requires x4- or x8-based memory modules.Installing Memory ModulesWARNING: The memory modules are hot to the touch for some time after thesystem has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to coolbefore handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoidtouching the components on the memory module.CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, memory-module blanks must beinstalled in any memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory-moduleblanks only if you intend to install memory in those sockets.1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnectthe system from the electrical outlet and peripherals. Open the system.See "Opening the System."2 Remove the expansion card stabilizer. See "Removing the Expansion CardStabilizer."3 Remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing the Cooling Shroud."4 Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure 6-1.5 Remove the memory-module blanks from the sockets in which you plan toinstall memory modules:Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the socket until thememory-module blank pops out of the socket. See Figure 3-20.NOTE: Make sure to retain any removed memory-module blanks for futureuse.Mirroring 1-GB vacant XX XXX X241248242-GB vacant XX XXX X482481648Table 3-3.
