Hardware options installation

Introduction

If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options
and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING:
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.

Memory options

For server-specific memory installation guidelines, refer to the installation sheet that ships with the server.

Interleaving and non-interleaving memory configuration

This server supports both interleaving and non-interleaving memory configurations. Interleaving memory
increases bandwidth by allowing simultaneous access to more than one block of data (for example,
overlapping Read-Writes). This is accomplished by dividing the system memory between pairs of DIMMs
and Writing-Reading blocks of data to/from both simultaneously. In order to take advantage of memory
interleaving, identical DIMMs must be installed in pairs. DIMMs can also be installed singularly in slot 1
only if memory interleaving is not desired.

Installing DIMMs

Power down the server (on page 6).
1.
Remove the server from the rack (on page 6).
2.
Remove the primary access panel (on page 7).
3.
