1. Power off the server as described in Section 4.2.1, “Powering Off the Server” on
page 4-2.

the main cover. If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the
server from the rack.
3. Remove the main cover as described in Section 4.2.2, “Removing the Main Cover”
on page 4-3.
4. Locate the DIMM slot on the motherboard to which you will install or replace a
DIMM.
The DIMM ejector levers contain LEDs that can indicate a faulty DIMM:
■ DIMM ejector LED is off: The DIMM is operating properly.
■ DIMM ejector LED is on (amber): The DIMM is faulty and should be replaced.
Note – To see the fault LEDs in the ejector levers of the DIMM slots, you must put
the server in standby power mode, with the AC power cords attached. See
Section 4.2.1, “Powering Off the Server” on page 4-2.
The internal system software designation of the DIMM slots is shown in
