To install a memory module:
Before you begin:
Read “Safety information” on page 180.
Read the documentation that comes with your option.
1. Review “Before you begin” on page 58.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices. Disconnect external cables and
power cords and remove the top cover.
3. Pull up the two pop rivets on the processor housing cover and remove the cover
from the processor housing.
4. Remove the memory board assembly:
a. Lift up on the memory board assembly and remove it from the server.
b. Place the memory board assembly on a static-protective surface, such as the
static-protective package in which the option came.
5. Locate the DIMM connectors on the memory board. Determine the DIMM
connectors into which you will install the DIMMs. (See the notes at the beginning
of this procedure.)
6. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM option to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.
Note: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors,
handle the clips gently.
