Upgrading Your Modular Server 8-7

Adding Order and Precautions

„Install DIMMs one by one.

„Two DIMMs must be the same capacity and same speed. (Check the labels on the DIMM board.)

Installation

Install the DIMM on the modular server according to the following procedure:

1.After the shutdown processing for the modular server to be removed, turn off the power of the modular server.

2.Take out the modular server from the Module Enclosure. See Chapter 3 for details.

3.Place the modular server on anti-static sheet with little dust.

4.Insert the DIMM into the socket and push it straight.

IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too much pressure can damage the socket.

NOTE: Make sure of the orientation of the DIMM. The connecting side of the DIMM has a cut-out (key slot) to prevent an incorrect insertion.

5.Power on the modular server and make sure that no error message appears on the POST screen.

See Chapter 7 for details of the POST error messages.

If the modular server is not started, the DIMM may not be installed in the socket correctly. Install the DIMM again.

6.Run SETUP and select [Advanced] – [Memory Configuration] to make sure that "DIMM #x Status" (x: DIMM number) shows "Normal" (see Chapter 4).

7.Set [Advanced] – [Reset Configuration Data] in the [Advanced] menu to [Yes].

This is required to update the hardware configuration information. See Chapter 4 for details.
