Replacing Memory

 The memory can be removed without removed without removing the motherboard from the case. Generally, it is recommended to remove the memory with the motherboard still in the case because cables do not need to be unplugged and re-inserted. For purposes of illustration, these instructions show removing the memory with motherboard removed from the case. If you have trouble removing the memory while the motherboard is still in the case, see Chapter 3 Removing the Motherboard.
