Installing the Sdram or Ldram Simm

SIMM Upgrades

To install an SDRAM or LDRAM SIMM, refer to Figure 3-7 and proceed as follows:

1.Remove the chassis cover as described in Section 3.2.

2.Locate the SDRAM or LDRAM SIMM slot as shown in Figure 3-4.

The internal components and boards associated with the ESX

!are static sensitive devices. Use the antistatic wrist band and

CAUTION	observe standard antistatic safety procedures when the cover

	is removed. Failure to do so could cause damage or severely
	limit the life expectancy of the ESX.

3.Insert the SIMM between the connector teeth in the SIMM slot.

4.Pivot the SIMM back until it locks into the clips in the SIMM slot, and the SIMM holes fit over the SIMM slot posts. (See Figure 3-7.)
