Installing memory in the 8001-12C system

Learn how to install memory in the IBM Power System S821LC (8001-12C) system.
Before you begin
Power off the system and place it in the service position. For instructions, see "Preparing the 8001-12C or
8005-12N system to remove and replace internal parts" on page 85.
Procedure
1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
Attention:
v Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to
an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging
your hardware.
v When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when
using or working on electrical equipment.
v If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and
installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of
5 seconds.
2. Determine the slot in which you want to install the memory. See "Placement rules for memory in the
8001-12C or 8001-22C system" on page 19 to understand the plugging rules and to ensure that you
plug the memory into the system in the correct sequence.
3. Depending on the memory location, you might need to remove the system processor air baffles.
Carefully unsnap and lift the processor air baffle from the system.
