Sorry, don't have one. But since POST finds it - doesn't it tell you? -
crack the case, and start removing memory. Make sure you don't have a
static charge, though unless you're somewhere cold, or the a/c's set to
cryogenic, you shouldn't have a charge, and just carefully take out DIMMs
from the (one?) bank, and rePOST.
