1.Turn off the system, disconnect all cables, and remove the system cover.
CAUTION: To ensure that memory modules are not damaged during removal or installation, power off the server and unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet. Wait until the power on/off LED on the control panel turns off before removing or installing memory.
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
2.Determine the memory slot location to be used for the DIMM(s) being installed. See “DIMM Locations”.
3.Insure that the latches of the DIMM socket are in the open (outward) position.
4.Align the DIMM with the socket located on the system board.
NOTE: The DIMMs and the DIMM sockets are keyed to prevent improper insertion of the modules.
5.Gently and evenly push down on the top edge of the DIMM until it seats in the socket. Ensure the extraction levers are in the closed position.
CAUTION: Avoid applying too much pressure to the DIMM when inserting the module into the socket. It is possible to damage the socket connector. Touch only the outer card edge of the module.
