Figure 9. Installing DIMMS
DIMM slot 4 (J110)
DIMM slot 3 (J112)
Before you begin, read the documentation that comes with the DIMMs.
Complete the following steps to install a DIMM:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 17.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the
SBCE unit (see "Removing the blade server from the SBCE unit" on page 19 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4. Open the blade server cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 20 for instructions).
5. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. Determine the connectors into which you
will install the DIMMs.
6. Touch the non-conductive package that contains the DIMM option to any unpainted metal
surface on the SBCE unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component
in the rack you are installing the DIMM option in for at least 2 seconds. Then remove the DIMM
from the package.
7. To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you install:
a. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM key aligns correctly with the connector on the system
board.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors,
handle the clips gently.
b. Insert the DIMM by pressing the DIMM along the guides into the connector. Make sure the
retaining clips snap into the closed positions.
Important: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not
been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the DIMM.
Reinsert the DIMM.
8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the
installation" on page 41.
