6. Install the DIMM:
DIMM
a. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector. Turn the DIMM so
that the pins align correctly with the connector.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
b. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the DIMM edges with the slots
at each end of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into
the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously.
Be sure that the retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is
firmly seated in the connector.
c. If a gap exists 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; then, reinsert the DIMM.
7. Close the DIMM access door or reinstall the SMP Expansion Module cover (see
"Reinstalling an SMP Expansion Module and cover" on page 28).
8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
9. Close the server cover. See "Completing the installation" on page 31.
Note: The installing or removing of DIMMs changes the configuration information
in the server. Therefore, you must change and save the new configuration
information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See "Using
the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 46 for more information.
