IBM IntelliStation Type 6866: Hardware Maintenance Manual
Position the RIMM or C-RIMM above the connector so that the two notches on the
bottom edge of the module align properly with the empty connector.
Note: Pay attention to the orientation of the notches on the connectors and
RIMMs. Adjacent connectors might not have the same orientation on the
memory card.
Firmly push the module straight down into the connector until the retaining clips
pop up and fit snugly around both ends of the module.
Notches
Place the memory card back in the slot on the system board and reattach the
power and hard disk drive fan cables to the connectors on the memory card.
Release the adapter guide latch on the front fan.
If a memory error occurs, and the system is operational, run memory diagnostics.
If a memory error occurs, and the system is not operational:
a. Replace one RIMM module at a time until the system comes up.
Note: All unused RIMM sockets must have a C-RIMM installed.
b. Run memory diagnostics.
c. Install the other RIMM and run diagnostics again to identify the failing
RIMM.
