Installing Dimms - Intel SR870BN4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

NOTE
It is not necessary to remove the memory boards from the processor/memory
module to add or replace DIMMs.
5. Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject the DIMM from its connector.
6. Hold the DIMM only by its upper edges (see Figure 99), being careful not to touch its
components or gold edge connectors. Carefully lift it away from the connector and store it in
an antistatic package.
7. Repeat steps five and six for each DIMM to be remove.

Installing DIMMs

CAUTIONS
•
Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too much
pressure can damage the connector. DIMMs are keyed and can be
inserted in only one way.
•
Mixing dissimilar metals might cause memory failures later,
resulting in data corruption. Install DIMMs with gold-plated edge
connectors only.
•
Maximum DIMM height is 4.445 cm (1.75 inches). Do not install
DIMMs that exceed this height.
•
The system does not support mixed-sized DIMMs or DIMMs from
different vendors within the same row.
NOTE
DIMM slots on the memory module must be installed only in certain
configurations. Numbers next to DIMM slots correspond to installation
sequence. DIMMs must be installed by groups of four and must be inserted
in the sequence shown in Figure 100.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions described in "Warnings and Cautions" on page 179.
2. Power down the system by pressing and holding the power button on the front panel for several
seconds. Unplug both AC power cords to remove standby power from the server.
3. Remove the processor/memory module.
4. Open the processor/memory module (primary or secondary side as required) to access the
memory boards.
5. Holding the DIMM only by its upper edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
