Memory DIMM

Replacement Instructions

Follow the instructions in this sheet carefully. Failure to follow these instructions could

damage your equipment and void its warranty.

Note: A memory DIMM is located in each of two controller modules at the back of the

Xserve RAID enclosure. To replace a memory DIMM, you must first shut down Xserve

RAID and remove the controller module from the enclosure. See the Xserve RAID User’s 

Guide for shutdown instructions.

Tools Required

The only tool required for this procedure is a Phillips screwdriver.

Removing the Installed Memory DIMM

1. Press apart the two latches on the back of the controller module.

2. Holding the module by the latches, pull it straight out of the enclosure. (Figure 1)
