IBM 8682 manual Install the memory board assembly

b.Place the memory board assembly on a static-protective surface, such as the static-protective package in which an option comes.

3.Locate the DIMM connectors on the memory board. Determine the DIMM connectors into which you will install the DIMMs. (See the notes at the beginning of this procedure.)

4.Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM option to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.

Note: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, handle the clips gently.

5.To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you install:

a.Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.

b.Insert the DIMM by pressing the DIMM straight into the connector. Be sure that the retaining clips snap into the closed positions.

c.Make sure that the retaining clips are in the closed position. If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM.

6.Install the memory board assembly:

a.Hold the memory board assembly, and align it into the card guides and over the memory board connector.

Attention: When you insert the memory board assembly into the connector, press on the flat metal projection on the board.

b.Insert the memory board assembly into the connector.

7.If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to “Installing the server top cover and bezel” on page 74
