Hi:

 

The manual doesn't mention anything about tape, in the memory removal and replacement procedure.

But no doubt, it is there for a reason, so I would recommend carefully peeling up the tape just enough to get to remove and replace the memory, and then carefully replace the tape.

 

It is probably some kind of insulation.
