Installation steps
To install a DIMM, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 39.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing and replacing the cover” on page 43).
4. Disconnect any cables that impede access to the DIMMs.
5. Remove the DIMM air baffle (see “Removing and installing the DIMM air baffle”
on page 48).
6. Carefully open the retaining clips 2 on each end of the DIMM connector and
remove the DIMM 1.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the
package.
8. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.
9. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the
slots at the ends of the DIMM connector.
10. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure
on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the
locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.
