Replacing Parts

If necessary, label each one to expedite re-assembly.

3. Remove the left side cover.

WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the HP Server until the power cord is disconnected from the AC power source.

4.Lay the Server on its side (components showing).

5.Select the desired DIMM and open the retaining latches completely. This forces the DIMM up in the slot and makes it easier to remove.

6.Lift the DIMM completely away from the slot.

7.Place the DIMM in its anti-static container.

8.Repeat Steps 5-7 for as many DIMMs as you need to remove.

Figure 7-8. Removing DIMMs from System Board

Replacing DIMMs

1.Choose a DIMM slot for the desired DIMM.

DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any order (1 through 3). However, HP recommends starting at slot 1 and filling the slots in order: 1, 2, and 3. Empty slots between DIMMs are permitted.

2.Spread the two retaining latches on the slot outward.

CAUTION Use only HP DIMMs, which are 168-pin, 3.3V, PC133 (133 MHz), and unbuffered ECC SDRAM DIMMs. The EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM DIMMs from earlier HP Server models will fit into the DIMM slots in the HP Server tc2110, but the EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM will not function properly. HP’s warranty does not apply to non-HP parts.
