Installing memory modules

Adding memory to your server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You
can increase the amount of memory in your server by installing options called
memory-module kits. Each kit contains one industry-standard, dual-inline memory
module (DIMM). Your server uses a noninterleaved memory configuration.
1. Read the information in "Preinstallation steps (all bays)" on page 57.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and then remove the cover and the
bezel (see "Removing the cover, door, and bezel" on page 48 for details).
3. Remove the filler panel from the bay opening by pulling the filler panel away
from the server. You do not need the filler panel when you have a drive
installed in the bay.
4. Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the bag and place it on a
static-protective surface.
5. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
6. Install rails on the drive.
v If you are installing a standard-size drive:
a. Pull the blue slide rails off the back of the filler panel.
b. Clip the rails onto the sides of the drive.
v If you are installing a digital linear tape (DLT) backup drive, the slide rails
and screws are included in the optional power supply backplane kit.
7. Align the rails on the drive with the guide rails in the drive bay.
8. Push the drive into the bay until it clicks into place.
9. If the drive is an IDE device:
v Make sure the drive is not a hard disk drive.
v Plug a connector on the IDE cable into the back of the drive.
v Make sure the other end of the IDE cable is plugged into the IDE connector
on the system board.
v Go to step 11.
a. Make sure the drive is not a hard disk drive.
b. Obtain a 16-bit SCSI cable to connect the device to the connector for SCSI
channel B on the system board, or to an optional SCSI adapter. A suitable
cable usually comes with your SCSI device.
c. Connect one of the connectors on the SCSI cable to the back of the drive.
d. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI channel B connector
on the system board, or to an optional SCSI adapter, as appropriate. See
"System board internal cable connectors" on page 43 for the location of the
SCSI connectors. See also "SCSI ports" on page 78 for information about
SCSI connections and devices.
non-hot-swap drives come installed in your server. The connectors are keyed
and can be inserted only one way.
Otherwise, continue with the next step.
