5.Insert the riser card from the option kit into an IDE connector on the blade server I/O board.
Important: IDE drives must be installed in the following order: IDE connector 1 first, then IDE connector 2.
6.Place the IDE drive tray from the option kit over the riser card as shown in the illustration, aligning the tray with the screw holes on the I/O board. Two of the screw holes have screws in them.
7.Remove the tray temporarily; then, remove the two screws from the screw holes on the I/O board and replace the tray. Secure the tray to the I/O board with screws from the kit.
8.Set any jumpers or switches on the IDE drive. Important: Both IDE drives must be set to Master.
Attention: Do not press on the top of the IDE drive. Pressing the top could damage the IDE drive.
9.Place the IDE drive into the tray and push it, from the rear edge of the IDE drive, into the connector on the riser card until the IDE drive moves past the lever at the back of the tray. The IDE drive clicks into place.
10.If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to “Completing the installation” on page 62.
Installing memory modules
The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the blade server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs:
vThe processor board contains eight DIMM connectors and supports
vThe DIMM options supported for your blade server are 256 MB, 512 MB, and
1 GB (2 GB when available). Your blade server supports a minimum of 512 MB and a maximum of 8 GB (16 GB with availability of 2 GB DIMMs) of system memory.
vYour blade server comes with two DIMMs installed in the DIMM 4 and DIMM 8 memory connectors (J9E1 and J9H1, respectively). When you install additional DIMMs, be sure to install them as pairs in the connectors and order shown in the following table.
Pair | DIMM connectors | |
|
|
|
First | 4 and 8 | (J9E1, J9H1) |
Second | 3 and 7 | (J9D1, J9G1) |
Third | 2 and 6 | (J9C2, J9F1) |
Fourth | 1 and 5 | (J9B3, J9E2) |

vBoth DIMMs in a pair must be the same size, type, and technology. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.
