"Installation guidelines" on page 19.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the
system chassis. See "Removing the blade server from the system chassis" on page 19 for
instructions.
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4. Open the blade server cover. See "Opening the blade server cover" on page 20 for instructions.
5. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. Determine the connectors into which you
will install the DIMMs. (See note 3 on page 24)
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM option to any unpainted metal
surface on the chassis or any unpainted surface on any other grounded rack component. Then,
remove the DIMM from the package.
7. To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you install:
a. Turn the DIMM so that the keyed notch (A) aligns correctly with the connector on the
system board. Note that the keyed notch (A) is slightly left of center.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors,
handle the clips gently.
