6.Enter the EISA Configuration Utility. Then save the configuration and exit the utility.

Running the EISA Configuration Utility and saving the configuration is required for the system to recog- nize the newly installed DIMM(s). See Chapter 5, “Using the EISA Configuration Utility,” in the User’s Guide for instructions on running the utility and sav- ing the configuration.

7.Run the RAM Test Group in the system diagnostics.

See Chapter 5, “Running the System Diagnostics,” for information.

Installing DIMMs

Install DIMMs starting with socket DIMM A, located farthest from the microprocessor sockets, and working towards DIMM H. If a DIMM is already installed in the socket you need, you must remove it. Follow the instruc- tions in the next subsection, “Removing DIMMs,” if appropriate.

To install a DIMM, follow these steps:

1.Press the ejectors on the DIMM socket down and outward as shown in Figure 8-4 to allow the DIMM to be inserted in the socket.

2.Align the DIMM’s edge connector with the slot in the center of the DIMM socket, and insert the DIMM in the socket.

The card-edge connector on the DIMM is keyed using two notches so that the DIMM can be installed in the socket in only one way (see Figure 8-4).

3.Press down on the two outer edges of the DIMM with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejectors with your index fingers to lock the DIMM into the socket.

When the DIMM is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the DIMM socket should align with the ejectors on the other DIMM sockets.
