configurations. See the SGI 1400 Server Family User's Guide if you are uncertain of the
configuration requirements. Use the following steps to install new DIMMs:
1. Holding the DIMM only by its edges, remove it from its antistatic package.

3. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket, then press down firmly on the
DIMM until it seats correctly.
4. Gently push the plastic ejector levers on the socket ends to the upright position.
5. Repeat the steps to install each DIMM.
