Figure 23. Removing a RIMM
To reinstall a RIMM, perform the following steps.
1. Locate the plastic securing clips at each end of the socket (see Figure 24).
2. Press the clips outward until they snap open.
3. Press the RIMM straight into the slot running down the center of the socket until the securing tabs snap into place around the ends of the
