Attention:
Static electricity that is released to internal server components when
the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the
loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge
wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the
power on.
To install a DIMM, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 29.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables, if necessary.
3. Remove the cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 32).
4. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector.
Attention:
To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the
package.
6. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.
7. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the
slots at the ends of the DIMM connector (see "System-board optional-device
connectors" on page 25 for the location of the DIMM connectors).
8. 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.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
"Completing the installation" on page 62.
