As Osgeld said, you have to remove the motherboard. From memory, the procedure to remove the motherboard goes something like this:
- Shut down, unplug and open the machine
- Remove the CPU card, and any PCI cards you have installed
- Disconnect all the cables going to the logic board on the top of the machine
- Remove the power switch by pressing gently on the tabs and then pulling the power switch assembly forward
- Remove the centre screw holding the motherboard in
- Slide the board towards the front of the machine, then gently press up on one of the tabs at the top, and pull the motherboard towards you.
The motherboard should now be out of the machine, and the RAM slots should be right in front of you. Reverse these steps to get the machine back in one piece. As Osgeld said, be extremely careful when taking the machine apart, these machines are getting old, and as such the plastic is starting to get fragile.
