Dimm Installation - Lenovo ThinkAgile CP Part Replacement And Component Maintenance Procedures

Complete the following steps to install a DIMM:
Important: Before installing a memory module, make sure that you understand the required installation
order, depending on whether you are implementing memory mirroring, memory rank sparing, or independent
memory mode. See "Installation order" on page 42 for the required installation order.
Step 1. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector.
Attention:
• DIMMs are static-sensitive devices. The package must be grounded before it is opened.
• To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the
clips gently.
Step 2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the
outside of the node. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.
Step 3. Turn the DIMM so that the alignment slot align correctly with the alignment tab.
Step 4. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the slots at the ends of
the DIMM connector.
Step 5. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the
DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly
seated in the connector.

Note: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly
inserted; open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it.
Step 6. Reconnect any cable that you removed.
