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
