About this task
Note: The first DIMM connectors in every channel are white-colored, while the
second DIMM connectors in every channel are black-colored.
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on page “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 32.
2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 22) and all attached
peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external
cables as necessary to replace the device.
3. Remove the server top cover (see “Removing the server top cover” on page
35).
4. Rotate the hot-swap rear hard disk drive cage up (see “Rotating the hot-swap
rear hard disk drive cage up” on page 36
5. Remove the PCI riser-card assembly (see “Removing a PCI riser-card
assembly” on page 37.
6. Remove the air baffle (see “Removing the air baffle” on page 39.
7. Carefully flip open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
8. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.
9. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.
10. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with
the slots at the end of the DIMM connector. 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.
