Intel S875WP1-E manual Installing and Removing an AGP Card, Removing DIMMs

Removing DIMMs

To remove a DIMM, follow these steps:

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.

2.Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.

3.Remove the AC power cord from the server.

4.Remove the server’s cover.

5.Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The DIMM pops out of the socket.

6.Hold the DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an anti-static package.

7.Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the DIMM sockets.

8.Replace the server’s cover and reconnect the AC power cord.

Installing and Removing an AGP Card

CAUTION

When installing any AGP card in the server board, ensure that it is fully seated in the AGP connector before you power on the system. If the card is not fully seated in the AGP connector, an electrical short may result across the AGP slot pins. Depending on the over-current protection of the power supply, certain board components and/or traces may be damaged.

✏NOTE

The AGP connector is keyed for 1.5 V AGP cards only. Do not attempt to install a legacy 3.3 V AGP card. The AGP connector is not mechanically compatible with legacy 3.3 V AGP cards.

The AGP connector supports 1.5 V 8X, 4X, and 2X AGP cards. The server board has an integrated AGP card retention mechanism (RM).
