5
Mount the memory module in the controller memory socket like a
standard DIMM. For more information, see "Installing the DIMM on a
PERC 6/E Adapter" on page 47.
The memory module is mounted flush with the board so that the memory
module is parallel to the board when installed.
6
Press the memory module firmly into the memory socket.
As you press the memory module into the socket, the TBBU clicks into
place, indicating that the controller is firmly seated in the socket, and the
arms on the socket fit into the notches to hold the memory module
securely.
Installing the DIMM on a PERC 6/E Adapter
This section describes how to install the memory module on a PERC 6/E
adapter.
NOTICE: PERC 6 cards support Dell-qualified 512-MB and 256-MB DDRII 667MHz
ECC-registered DIMMs with x16 DRAM components. Installing unsupported
memory causes the system to hang at POST.
1
Remove the memory module in an antistatic environment.
NOTE: When unpacking a static sensitive component from its shipping
carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material
until you are ready to install the component. Before unwrapping the antistatic
package, ensure to discharge static electricity from your body.
NOTE: Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and work bench pads.
NOTE: Do not touch the gold leads and do not bend the memory module.
2 Align the memory module so that the keyed edge of the memory
module is placed exactly on top of the physical divider on the memory
socket of the controller to
avoid damage to the DIMM.
3
Insert the memory module on the memory socket of the controller and
apply a smooth, downward pressure on both ends or on the middle of the
memory module until the retention clips fall into the allotted slots on
either side of the memory module. See Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-6 displays the installation of a memory module on a PERC 6/E
adapter.
