To install a DIMM, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Before you begin, read "Safety" on page iii and "Installation guidelines" on page 17.
Step 2.
Read the documentation that comes with the DIMMs.
Step 3.
If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see "Removing the blade server
from the BladeCenter unit" on page 19 for instructions).
Step 4.
Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
Step 5.
Open the blade server cover (see "Removing the blade server cover" on page 20 for instructions).
Step 6.
If an expansion unit is installed and you are installing DIMMs on the system board, remove the
expansion unit (see "Removing an optional expansion unit" on page 22).
Step 7.
Locate the DIMM connectors (see "Blade server connectors" on page 14). Determine which DIMM
connector you will be installing memory into.
Step 8.
If a DIMM filler or another memory module is already installed in the DIMM connector, remove it
(see "Removing a memory module" on page 28).
Note: A DIMM or DIMM filler must occupy each DIMM socket before the blade server is turned on.
Step 9.
If you are installing a DIMM in DIMM connector seven through twelve, use your fingers to lift the
DIMM access door.
Step 10. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on
the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in
the rack in which you are installing the DIMM for at least two seconds; then, remove the DIMM
from its package.
Step 11. To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you install:
