Dell 2650 manual Installing the RAID Controller Memory Module

CAUTION: Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. See the System Information document for additional information.

NOTICE: To avoid possible data loss, back up all data on the hard drives before changing the mode of operation of the integrated SCSI controller from SCSI to RAID.

1.Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

2.Remove the cover (see "Removing the Cover").

3.Push the ejectors on the RAID memory module connector down and outward to allow the memory module to be inserted into the connector (see

Figure 4-20).

See Figure 5-3 to locate the RAID memory module connector on the system board.

4.Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment keys, and insert the memory module into the connector (see Figure 4-20).

The memory module connector has two alignment keys that allow the memory module to be installed into the connector in only one way.

NOTE: The RAID controller memory module must be an unbuffered memory module, rated to run at 100 MHz or faster. Do not substitute registered memory modules such as those used for system memory.

5.Press on the memory module with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejectors with your index fingers to lock the memory module into the connector.
