Installing Memory Modules

You need to install a new memory module to replace a faulty module or when
upgrading a memory bank. You may need to remove memory modules in order to
access the memory slots for any new modules (see the earlier section, "Removing
Memory Modules"). To install a memory module, refer to Figure 5-6 and follow
these steps:
1. Tilt the connecting end of the module and press gently on the module so it slips
over the two posts located at each end of the slot (see Figure 5-5).
2. Reinstall any memory modules you may have removed for access purposes.
3. Replace the system covers following the procedures listed in "Replacing the
System Unit Covers."
4. Test the memory configuration using the following commands:
>>> show memory
>>> memory
For more information, see the section, "Configuring Memory" in Chapter 6,
"Configuring."
