Removing DIMMs

To remove a DIMM, 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.Remove 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.Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The DIMM lifts from the socket.

6.Holding the DIMM by the edges, lift it 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. See the documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on installing the server's cover.

Installing or Replacing the Processor

Caution: Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the list of compatible processor(s).

Caution: ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

Installing the Processor

To install a processor, follow these instructions:

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.
