Installation Instructions For Rdram Rambus RIMM
The
instructions on this page provide general installation and
handling information for 184-pin Rambus upgrade memory. These
instructions are intended to be used in conjunction with your
model specific owner manual.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
-
Place the computer power switch in the "off " position and
disconnect the AC power cord.
-
Remove the computer top cover following the instructions in the
model-specific owner manual.
-
Before touching any electronic components, make sure you first
touch an unpainted, grounded metal object to discharge any
static electricity stored on your clothing or body.
-
Locate the memory expansion sockets on the computer motherboard.
If all the sockets are full, remove smaller capacity modules to
allow room for higher capacity modules.
-
The ejector tabs shown in the illustration are used to remove a
module. By pushing outward on the ejector tabs, the module will
pop-up from the socket and it can then be removed.
-
For most installations, Rambus? modules can be installed in any
available expansion socket, but empty sockets must contain a
"Continuity Module" as shown in the illustration. Note that some
models may use a specific installation sequence for Rambus?
modules (e.g. Rambus dual-channel configurations); see your
model specific owner's manual for more details.
Insert the module into an available expansion socket. Note how
the module is keyed to the socket. This ensures the module can
be plugged into the socket one way only. Firmly press the module
into position, making certain the module is completely seated in
the socket. The ejector tabs at each end of the socket will
automatically snap into the locked position. Repeat this
procedure for any additional modules you are installing.
-
Once the module or modules have been installed, the computer top
cover can be reinstalled.
-
Plug in the AC power cord and reinstall any cables disconnected
during the installation process.
-
Turn on the computer and follow the instructions in your
computer owner manual that describe the steps necessary to allow
your computer to recognize the newly installed memory.
