6. Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed outward to the
open position.
7. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package.
8. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the
DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket. The arrow in the inset in Figure 7 is
pointing to the key in the socket.
9. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket.
10. When the DIMM is inserted, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the
retaining clips snap into place. Make sure the clips are firmly in place.
11. Replace the server's cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See the
documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on installing the
server's cover.
Removing DIMMs
To remove a DIMM, follow these steps:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Safety Information”.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
3. Remove the AC power cord from the server.
4. Remove the server's cover. See the documentation that came with your server
chassis for instructions on removing the server's cover.
5. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The DIMM lifts from
the socket.
6. Holding the DIMM by the edges, lift it from the socket, and store it in an anti-static
package.
7. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the DIMM
sockets.
8. Replace the server's cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See the
documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on installing the
server's cover.
Installing or Replacing the Processor
Caution: Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a
processor that is inappropriate for your server. See “Server System References” for a link
to the list of compatible processor(s).
Caution: ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to
the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the
processor or server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to
dissipate the static charge while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around
unnecessarily.
