Installing a DIMM
1.
Touch the antistatic package containing the new DIMM to any unpainted metal
surface on the server, and then remove the DIMM from the package.
2. Verify that the DIMM release tabs are open.
3. Orient the memory so that the pins align correctly with the tab.
4. Insert the DIMM into the tab by pressing, one at a time, on the edges of the
DIMM. Ensure that you press the DIMM vertically into the tab. See Figure 10.

5. Verify that the release tabs are in the closed position. If a gap exists between
the DIMM and the release tabs, the DIMM has not been properly installed. In
this case, open the release tabs, remove the DIMM, and then repeat steps 4
and 5.
6. If you have other options to remove or replace, do so now.
7.
Return the side cover. See Returning the Side Cover on page 94.
8. Reconnect all external cables and power cords, and turn on the server.
