RE: install memory on i5 520

Extremely limited steps:

1.  Turn off system
2.  Remove all cables
3.  Install anti-static strap
4.  Remove covers
5.  Rip apart
6.  Install chips

Reverse steps for re-assembly.  The hardest part is that the memory
clips hurt your fingers if you have to unclip whole lot of them.  =(
Naturally, make sure you have a backup.  Quickeasydone.

This would be customer install even if you brought it from IBM, and
since you bought it used, its definitely customer install.  Installing
the memory is VERY easy.

Customer has i5 520 floor model. 
According to hardware info center specs, this is really involved to add

memory, having to remove much of the guts of the system to get to the

board.

I can't find whether memory is considered "customer install". 
Cust bought used memory - expecting me to install.
Does anyone other than CE's do this kind of stuff? 
I did add new disk drives and was fairly simple.
