6 537500-001 — Removing and Replacing Memory
17 Disconnect the cables from the hard disk drive in
the cage:
The plugs on the cables are keyed and can be
inserted only when aligned properly with the
connector on the drive.
In addition, some plugs have a latch that must be
pressed or squeezed to release the plug while pulling
it from the connector.
 For plugs without a latch, pull the plug straight
out from the connector.
 For plugs with a latch, press the latch (1 or 3) in
the center of each plug, and then pull the plug
(2 or 4) from the connector. Set the cage aside.
18 Locate the memory sockets on your computer
motherboard. The memory sockets in the computer
may be paired sets, coded blue and black. The blue
sockets are filled first, starting with the largest
capacity module placed in the socket closest to the
processor (1) on the motherboard. This illustration
shows two memory modules installed in blue sockets.
19 Push down the retaining clip on each end of the
memory socket to release the memory module.
IMPORTANT: Recording the plug locations when
there are multiple drives helps ensure you correctly
replace the connections.
