    • Löse die drei Kreuzschlitzschrauben, mit denen die Abdeckung auf der unteren Seite des iMac befestigt ist.

    • Die Schrauben bleiben in der Abdeckung stecken und lassen sich nicht komplett aus der Abdeckung entnehmen.

    • Entferne die Abdeckung des iMacs.

    • Beim Wiederzusammenbau die Abdeckung lose einsetzen und mit den Außenseiten in das Gehäuse des iMac einrasten, bevor die Schrauben fest angezogen werden.

    I am going to put a very important comment here. Before you start this process listen to the fans on your iMac do any of them sound obviously loud (think about how quiet your iMac used to sound as a reference) If you notice one or more of them sounding substantially loud compared to the others consider locating a replacement fan prior starting this process. After all if you are already “in the neighborhood” it is a shame to do all this work only to have to disassemble your imac a couple weeks later because you realize the fan is failing. I speak from my own personal learning experience of having to disassembly my iMac 3 weeks later because the HDD was failing and apparently the moving the fan around was just enough to push it to start really under performing.

    I’m not sure why it is necessary to remove the RAM. As far as I can tell, it can remain in place during this procedure.

    • Schiebe mit den Fingern oder der Spudgerspitze die schwarze Zuglasche aus Plastik für die RAM Aufnahme aus der schmalen RAM Öffnung.

    Bonjour, j’ai arraché la languette. Conséquence, elle est inutilisable et je ne peux pas retirer la barrette. Comment faire autrement ? Est-ce que cet outil peut être utile ?

    • Ziehe die schwarze Lasche aus dem iMac heraus, um die RAM Chip aus ihrem Anschluss auszuwerfen.

    • Die RAM Module sitzen oft sehr fest und du musst relativ kräftig ziehen.

    • Schiebe den RAM Chip mit den Fingern aus seinem Anschluss.

    • Wiederhole diese Schritte falls nötig für das (die) andere(n) RAM Modul(e).

    How many 4MB cards can I install?

    nowsc -

    None. 4mb ram is too old to fit into any computer manufactured after like 1998.

    Brett Davison -

    @Brett

    I suggest that you learn your unit symbols before you try to appear clever:

    4mb == 4 milli bits

    4MB == 4 mega bytes

    nowsc was obviously meaning 4GB not 4MB, try not to be a dick.

    Simon -

    Just for the records :

    4 millibits are 0,000000004 MB

    There was never any RAM in mb and the question states MB and nobody except you is talking of millibits.

    You are also a dick if you try to spread “your knowledge” nobody has asked for

    Hein Blöd -

    Take care to note which way out the RAM comes - there is a notch in each RAM and it is not centered, therefore either the notch will be on the left or to the right (depending on which way up you have your iMac). This will make it easier to replace the RAM without damaging anything.

    Mike Haines -

    If damaged the notch inside one pair of RAM slots, is it fixable ?

Abschluss

Um dein Gerät wieder zusammenzusetzen, folge den Schritten in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.

My iMac 21.5-inch Mid 2011 has EMC 2428, but still directions turned out to be the same.

I replaced the memory in my MacBook Pro, and used the old cards (2x2GB) to fill out the 2 empty slots that apple left empty, doubled the memory of 2 machines for the price of one ^_^

Mabel Xu -

So confused. I have an end 2429 and I ordered some memory hut its says notebook memory, do these machines use the same type of ram?

Kosta Kritikos -

Thanks ifixit team, I did it. It is really piece of cake! Thanks again!

prelude0214 -

What's the real max capacity for the RAM?

Angel Pimienta -

16 Gb (4 x 4 Gb) DDR3 1333 MHz

Aleksei Marinichev -

16gb according to Apple but 32gb is no problem I would recommend using all identical sticks ie. same manufacturer/speed etc etc.

I have run 32gb for years in that machine With no issues.

Richard Reichle -

Hi, can I add one Ram of 4MB and one of 8Mb?

Cristian Catanescu -

You can but it’s not an ideal configuration

Richard Reichle -

Hi, according to Mactracker the iMac 27 inch mid 2011 can have up to 32GB of RAM. Anyone tested this?

Bård Arve Evjen -

Absolutely I have 32gb and I have used that config since it was new

Richard Reichle -

Thanks so much! I just pulled them out did vacuum, & stuck them back in. You saved me an expensive trip to the computer repair store.

Lindaj -

With EMC 2429 can I upgrade just two of the four RAM slots? ie I currently have 4x2 GB RAM (8GB total), can I replace just two if the ram chips with 4 GB chips so I end up with 2x4GB and 2x2GB (12GB total) installed? Many thanks

Rich -

Yes, you can. As long as you are installing as a pair, you can replace two 2GB (2x2) with two 4GB (2x4).
