NOTE: Assembly side 0 is on the left, and assembly side 1 is on the right as viewed from the front of the chassis.

3.Slide the memory carrier assembly into the chassis until it begins to seat into the socket located on the processor board.

CAUTION: Do not apply excessive force when closing the extraction handles and seating the memory carrier assembly into the socket on the processor board. Manipulate the extraction handles with care. Failure to observe these cautions can result in damage to the extraction handles and other server components.

4.Rotate the extraction handles inward and press the handles straight down until they snap into the locked position.

5.Replace the memory carrier assembly cover and latch the top cover release lever closed. See “Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 58).

Installing System Memory DIMMs

System memory or DIMMs are located on a pair of memory boards inside the memory carrier assembly.

WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected from the server prior to performing this procedure.

Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.

Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
