If you need to remove a memory module:

Complete steps

8
 in 
 to shut down the computer and open the memory 
module slot cover.
Do not try to remove a memory module with the computer turned on. 
You can damage the computer and the memory module.
Do not remove the memory module while the computer is in Sleep or 
Hibernation mode. The computer could hang up the next time you 
turn it on and data in memory will be lost. In either of the above 
cases, the Sleep configuration will not be saved.
The following screen may appear when you turn on the power:
 
If “Start Windows
®
 Normally” is highlighted, then press 
Enter
.
If one of the Safe Mode options is highlighted, it is best to press 
Enter
 to go into Safe Mode, then shut down and restart the system, at 
which time Windows
®
 should boot back up normally.
When Safe Mode is suggested, this could be a sign that you may 
need to scan your internal storage drive for errors or defragment the 
drive. If so, consult Windows
®
 Help and Support.
2
Pull the latches away from the memory module.
The memory module pops up slightly.
If your system has the memory modules stacked on top of one 
another, you must remove the top module first before 
removing/installing the bottom module.
