Add FB-DIMMs
If you are upgrading the system with additional FB-DIMMs, use this procedure.
Before you begin, complete these tasks:
Read the section, “Safety Information” on page 63.
Read the sections, “FB-DIMM Configuration” on page 113 and “FB-DIMM Device
Identifiers” on page116.
Power off the server using one of the methods described in the section, “Powering
Off the System” on page 67.
“Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position” on page 70

1. Unpackage the FB-DIMMs and place them on an antistatic mat.
2. Ensure that the ejecto r tabs are in the open position.
3. Line up the FB-DIMM with the connector.
Align the FB-DIMM notch with the key in the connector. This ensures that the
FB-DIMM is oriented correctly.
4. Push the FB-DIMM into the connector until the ejector tabs lock the FB-DIMM
in place.
If the FB-DIMM does not easily seat into the connector, verify that the orientation
of the FB-DIMM is correct. If the orientation is reversed, damage to the FB-DIMM
might occur.
5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 until all the FB-DIMMs are installed.
