Adding Memory Modules - HPE AlphaServer 300 User Manual

Adding Memory Modules

To add a set of memory modules (SIMMs), refer to Figure 4-4, which shows a view of the
SIMMs from the front of the system, as you perform the following steps:
1. Remove the drive bracket to improve access. (See the section on Installing Storage
Options in the Drive Bracket, later in this chapter.)
__________________________ HINT _____________________________
If you are adding memory and adding a drive to the upper bay of the inner
storage area at the same time, add the memory SIMMs while the drive bracket
is removed for easier installation. If you are adding memory and adding a drive
to the lower bay of the inner storage area at the same time, however, remove
the SIMMs. Then you can add the lower-bay drive, followed by the SIMMs.
____________________________________________________________
2. Install the SIMM into the socket at an angle
with the protrusion in the bottom of the connector. Rock the SIMM gently until it is
seated evenly into the bottom of the socket. Tip the SIMM upright
metal retaining clips
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other two SIMMs.
