DIMM
Note: DIMMs or DIMM fillers must occupy DIMM connectors 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, and 16 for proper cooling.
To remove a DIMM, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Before you begin, read "Safety" on page iii and "Installation guidelines" on page 37.
Step 2.
If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see "Removing the blade server from
the BladeCenter unit" on page 39).
Step 3.
Remove the blade server cover (see "Removing the blade server cover" on page 72).
Step 4.
If an optional expansion unit is installed, remove the expansion unit (see "Removing an optional
expansion unit" on page 58).
Step 5.
Locate the DIMM connectors (see "Blade server connectors" on page 7). Determine which DIMM
you want to remove from the blade server.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, handle the
clips gently.
Step 6.
Move the retaining clips on the ends of the DIMM connector to the open position by pressing the
retaining clips away from the center of the DIMM connector.
Note: To access DIMM connectors seven through twelve, use your fingers to lift the DIMM access
door.
Step 7.
Using your fingers, pull the DIMM out of the connector.

Install a DIMM or DIMM filler in each empty DIMM connector (see "Installing a memory module" on
