5. Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment key on the memory module socket, and insert the
memory module in the socket.
NOTE: The memory module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the memory module in the socket
in only one way.
6. Press down on the memory module with your thumbs to lock the memory module into the socket.
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket align with
the ejectors on the other sockets that have memory modules installed.
7. Repeat step 3 through step 5 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules.
8. Install the blade system board.
9. Install the blade in the sleeve.
10. (Optional) Press <F2> to enter the System Setup, and check the System Memory setting.
The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly installed memory.
11. If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Check to ensure that the
memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets.
12. Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics.
Management Riser Card
The management riser card provides two card slots and offers the following features:
• Internal Dual SD interface — maintains a mirrored configuration using SD cards in both slots (labeled as SD1
and vFlash/SD2) and provides redundancy.
NOTE: The SD card slot is on the left side of blade chassis and labeled as SD1.
• Single card operation — A single card in the SD1 card slot is supported, but does not offer redundancy. A vFlash
card can be installed in the vFlash card slot on the blade chassis. The vFlash card provides persistent on-
demand local storage and a custom deployment environment that allows automation of server configuration,
scripts, and imaging. For more information, see the iDRAC7 documentation at support.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE: The vFlash card slot is on the left side of blade chassis and labeled as vFlash/SD2.
