Galaxy GHDX2-2430S/R-24F4D Installation and Hardware Reference Manual

WARNING!

ƒThe controller board in the controller module is a sensitive item. Please ensure that all anti-static precautions stipulated above are strictly adhered to. Only qualified engineers should replace the DIMM module.

ƒRemoving the DIMM module while it contains cached data and when the BBU is still attached to the controller can damage the DIMM module. When the controller is removed from chassis, the BBU will start to discharge supplying power to memory. Removing the DIMM module while it is being powered by the BBU may damage the DIMM module.

Therefore, remove a BBU module before you replace a DIMM module if you prefer using a different DIMM module.

2.6.2Selecting the Memory Modules

If the memory module on the RAID controller is going to be replaced, the following factors must be considered when purchasing replacement DIMM modules:

ƒDDR DIMM modules supported: The subsystem supports DDR RAM DIMM modules with memory capacities ranging from 512MB to 2GB.

ƒInstallation considerations: When installing the DIMM module, it is necessary to handle the controller module. The controller board is more susceptible to damage than the other components and must therefore be handled with extreme care. ALL anti-static precautions specified in Section 2.3 must be strictly adhered to.

ƒSecure installation: If the DIMM module is not firmly in place, the subsystem will not run and the controller will need to be removed and the DIMM module correctly installed.

ƒPurchasing considerations: When purchasing a DDR DIMM to install on the controller board, contact your system vendor for an adequate module.

2.6.3DIMM Module Installation/Replacement

WARNING!

1.Consult the technical support of your reseller or distributor if you are not sure which memory module can be installed into the controller. To avoid compatibility problems, it is recommended to purchase only certified DIMM modules for the Galaxy RAID.

2.The BBU and controller module must be removed prior to installing a new memory module. Do this with care. Sensitive components can be damaged during the process.
