8-8 Upgrading Your Modular Server

Removal

Remove the DIMM in the following procedure.

NOTE: To remove the defected DIMM, check the error message appearing on POST or NEC ESMPRO to confirm the modular server on which the detected DIMM is installed.

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

2.Pull 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.Open the levers at both ends of the DIMM socket to be removed. The lock is released to allow you to remove the DIMM.

5.Install a new DIMM (only when replacing a DIMM).

6.Turn on the power of the modular server. Make sure that no error message appears in POST.

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.

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

8.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.
