Memory modules

Adding memory to the server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You
can increase the amount of memory in the server by installing options called
memory modules. The server uses a noninterleaved memory configuration.
Memory considerations:
v The server comes with a DIMM installed on the system board in DIMM
v The xSeries 200 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB DIMMs. The

3. Remove the support-bracket assembly and disconnect the fan cable from the
connector (SYSFA1) on the system board. See "Removing the support bracket
assembly" on page 45 for details. See "System board internal cable
connectors" on page 38 for the location of the fan cable connector.
4. Access the drive cage.
a. If the server has hard disk drives installed in the drive cage, disconnect
the power and signal cables from the rear of the drives.
b. Rotate the drive cage out of the server until it locks into place over the
drive cage retention tab.
Note: Before you install a hard disk drive, ensure that the drive cage locks
into place over the drive cage retention tab by pressing on the side
of the drive cage.
5. Touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and
place it on a static- protective surface.
6. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
7. Attach the blue plastic guide rails to the sides of the drive using the screws
and guide rails provided in the drive cage.
8. Slide the drive into the drive cage until the plastic tabs on the guide rails lock
into place in the drive cage.
9. Lift the drive cage up and press in on the drive cage release tab; then, rotate
the drive cage back into the server.
Note: Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the drive cage.
Note: Make sure to route the signal cable so that it does not block the air flow
to the rear of the drives or over the microprocessor.

memory module in DIMM connector 2, and the third in DIMM connector 3. (See
the illustration in this section for memory connector locations.)
