In this video, we show how to replace system memory on a PowerEdge R260. Before removing the system memory, read through and follow safety guidelines to protect your system from potential damage and ensure your personal safety. For more information about safety guidelines, see the PowerEdge R260 Service Manual at Dell.com/Support.
In order to remove the system memory you must first remove the system cover and air shroud. To remove the system cover, using a screwdriver rotate the lock counterclockwise to the unlocked position. Press down on the two release tabs and slide the cover towards the rear to disengage it. Then lift the cover from the system.
To remove the air shroud, hold it at both ends and lift it out of the system. To remove the system memory, push the eject levers outward on both ends of the socket to release the memory module. Then lift it from the system. To install the system memory, align the edge connector with the alignment key on the socket and insert. Then press firmly down until the ejectors click into place.
To install the air shroud, align it with the standoffs on the chassis wall and lower until firmly seated. To install the system cover, align and place it on the system. Slide it to the front until it clicks into place. Then use a screwdriver to rotate the lock clockwise to the locked position.
