Complete the following steps to install a DIMM:
Attention: When you handle ESD-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 39.
1. Review the safety precautions in “Safety information” on page 105.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 40
for details).
3. Remove the support bracket assembly and disconnect the fan cable from the
connector (SYSFA3) on the system board. See “Removing the support bracket
assembly” on page 42 and “System board internal cable connectors” on page 36
for the location of the fan cable connector.
4. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted metal
surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.
5. Install the DIMM:
a. If you are installing a DIMM in connector 1, remove the AGP adapter.
Remove the AGP adapter only if you are replacing the DIMM in connector 1.
See “System and PCI extender board options connectors” on page 35 for the
location of the AGP slot. See “Installing an adapter” on page 45 for details
about removing the AGP adapter.
b. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM slot. Turn the DIMM so that
the pins align correctly with the connector.
