2 Hardware Installations and
Upgrades
Before You Begin
Before working with your server product, pay close attention to the “Safety Information”
at the beginning of this manual.
Tools and Supplies Needed
• Phillips* (cross head) screwdrivers (#1 bit and #2 bit)
• Needle nosed pliers
• A ruler
• Pen or pencil
• Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
Installing and Removing Memory
The silkscreen on the board for the DIMMs displays DIMM_A1, DIMM_A2, DIMM_B1,
and DIMM_B2, DIMM_D1, DIMM_D2, DIMM_E1, DIMM_E2 starting from the inside
of the board. DIMM_A1 is the socket in blue closest to the processor 1 socket. For two
slots per channel configurations, the server board requires DDR3 DIMMs within a
channel to be populated starting with the DIMM farthest from the processor. The DIMM
farthest from the processor per channel is blue on the board.
Installing DIMMs
To install DIMMs, follow these steps:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See “Safety
Information” for more information.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server and turn off the server.
3. Disconnect the AC power cord from the server.
4. Remove the server’s cover and locate the DIMM sockets (see letter “A” to “E” in
Figure 7).
