Installing DIMMs

To install DIMMs, follow these steps:

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Safety Information”.

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

3.Disconnect the AC power cord from the server.

4.Remove the server's cover. See the documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on removing the server's cover.

5.Locate the DIMM sockets (see Figure 4).

6.Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed outward to the open position (see letter “A” in Figure 4).

7.Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package.

8.Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket (see letter “B” in Figure 4).

9.Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket (see letter “C” in Figure 4).

10.When the DIMM is inserted, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the retaining clips snap into place. Make sure the clips are firmly in place (see letter “D” in Figure 4).

11.Replace the server's cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See the documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on installing the server's cover.
