3. Step 2
  Remove a stick of RAM by grabbing it with two hands and pulling straight out of the RAM tray.
  
  Remove any remaining sticks of RAM.
  
  RAM modules are keyed, so that they can only be installed in the proper orientation. Ensure that the RAM module's notch lines up with the socket's notch when installing new modules.
