✏ NOTE Memory sizing and configuration is guaranteed only for qualified DIMMs approved by MAXDATA. The minimum memory configuration is one 256 MB, DDR2-400 MHz DIMM, installed in DIMM socket 1B (the socket farthest from the processors). However, for optimum performance and dual-channel interleave operation, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed.
DIMM2A is the socket closest to the processor socket. ✏ NOTE Memory sizing and configuration is guaranteed only for qualified DIMMs approved by MAXDATA. Installing DIMMs To install DIMMs, follow these steps: 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book.
6. Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed outward to the open position. 7. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package. 8. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the small notch in the bottom edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket (see inset in Figure 5).
Lower the socket lever completely. ✏ NOTE Make sure the alignment triangle mark and the alignment triangle cutout align correctly. See Figure 6. Figure 6. Opening Socket Lever and Attaching Processor MAXDATA Server PLATINUM 500 I M5 MAXDATA Server PLATINUM 500 I M5...

7. Remove the heat sink from its packaging. The heat sink has thermal interface material (TIM) applied to the bottom of it. Be careful not to damage the TIM when you handle the heat sink. 8. Set the heat sink on top of the processor, aligning the captive screws in the heat sink with the standoffs around the processor socket.
8. Reconnect or replace any internal components you needed to disconnect or remove. 9. Replace the server’s cover. Reconnect any external components you needed to disconnect. 10. Attach the AC power cord. MAXDATA Server PLATINUM 500 I M5 MAXDATA Server PLATINUM 500 I M5...
Replacing the Backup Battery The lithium battery on the server board powers the RTC for up to 10 years in the absence of power. When the battery starts to weaken, it loses voltage, and the server settings stored in CMOS RAM in the RTC (for example, the date and time) may be wrong.
11. Replace the server’s cover. Reconnect any external components you needed to disconnect. 12. Attach the AC power cord. 13. Run Setup to restore the configuration settings to the RTC. MAXDATA Server PLATINUM 500 I M5 MAXDATA Server PLATINUM 500 I M5...
