Figure 27. RIMM Removal
To reinstall a RIMM, perform the following steps.
1. Locate the plastic securing clips at each end of the socket (see Figure 28).
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

After you replace the computer cover and restart the system, run the Dell Diagnostics to verify that the RIMMs are operating properly.
