Upgrading Your Server 9-21

Installation

Install a DIMM in the following procedure.

IMPORTANT: The server supports DIMMs of only the low-profile type (30 mm (1.2 inches) in height). It does not support DIMMs exceeding the specified height.

1.See the section "Preparing for Installation and Removal" described earlier to prepare.

2.Pull out the server from the rack.

3.Open the logic cover.

4.Push the DIMM straight into the socket.

NOTE: Make sure of the orientation of the DIMM.

Position the DIMM so that a notch in the bottom edge of the DIMM aligns with the keyed socket. Applying too much pressure can damage the socket. Keyed DIMMs insert only one way.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the socket, do not apply excessive force while pressing the DIMM.

The levers automatically close when the DIMM is inserted into the socket.

If POST displays an error message, take a note on the message and see the POST error messages listed in Chapter 8.

7.Start the SETUP and select [Advanced] → [Memory Configuration] to verify that the installed DIMM shows the status "Normal". (See Chapter 4 or details.)

This setting is required to change the hardware configuration data. See Chapter 4 for details.

9.If the Windows operating system is in use, set the paging file size to the recommended value (total memory size × 1.5) or a greater value. See Chapter 5 for details.
