NOTE: To avoid damage to the memory carrier extraction handles, HP recommends rotating the handles inward and snapping them into the locked position when servicing the system DIMMs or any time the carrier is out of the chassis. Before replacing the memory carrier, press the button to release the extraction handles. Use the handles to replace the memory carrier into the chassis.

5.Complete the following memory installation prerequisite tasks before installing the memory:

a.Determine the DIMM load order as appropriate for the 8-DIMM or 24-DIMM memory carrier. For more information, see “Memory Load Order” (page 209).

b.Determine the DIMM slots to populate using Figure 6-15 (page 210) or Figure 6-16 (page 211)..

c.Read, understand, and follow the general guidelines to install memory in the server. See “Memory Loading Rules and Guidelines” (page 211).

6.Lay the memory carrier assembly on side 0 or side 1 so that the memory carrier side that contains the DIMM slots that require servicing faces upward (Figure 6-13).

7.Remove the memory carrier assembly side cover.

a.Press the release tabs (Figure 6-13) on both sides of the extraction handle release button until the side cover releases from the top center of the assembly.

b.Rotate the side cover slightly to free the tabs from the retaining slots at the base of the assembly (Figure 6-14).

c.Lift the side cover off the assembly.
