Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently.
c.Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the DIMM edges with the slots at each end of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. Be sure that the retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.
d.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.
e.If you removed the AGP adapter, reinstall it now, see “Installing an adapter” on page 45.
6.If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
7.Replace the support bracket assembly and reconnect the fan cable to 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.
8.Replace the side cover, see “Installing the cover” on page 59.
9.Reconnect the external cables and power cords, and turn on the peripheral devices and the server.
If you want to remove a DIMM, reverse the previous steps.
Removing and installing a microprocessor
The server only supports one microprocessor, which is installed on the system board in the microprocessor connector (U5).
Notes:
1.Before you install a new microprocessor, review the documentation that comes with the microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need to update the server BIOS. The latest level of the BIOS for your server is available through the World Wide Web.
2.For a list of supported operating systems, see http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware
Attention: To avoid damage and ensure correct server operation when you install a new microprocessor, use a microprocessor that has the same cache size and type, and the same clock speed. Microprocessor internal clock frequencies and external clock frequencies must be identical. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of microprocessors for use with your server.
