Complete the following steps to install a DIMM:

Attention: When you handle ESD-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 39.

1.Review the safety precautions in “Safety information” on page 105.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 40 for details).

3.Remove the support bracket assembly and disconnect the fan cable from the connector (SYSFA3) on the system board. See “Removing the support bracket assembly” on page 42 and “System board internal cable connectors” on page 36 for the location of the fan cable connector.

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

5.Install the DIMM:

a.If you are installing a DIMM in connector 1, remove the AGP adapter.

Remove the AGP adapter only if you are replacing the DIMM in connector 1. See “System and PCI extender board options connectors” on page 35 for the location of the AGP slot. See “Installing an adapter” on page 45 for details about removing the AGP adapter.

b.Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM slot. Turn the DIMM so that the pins align correctly with the connector.
