Servicing DIMMs 71
Servicing DIMMs
DIMMs are cold-service components that can be replaced after you remove the processor
module from the system. For the location of DIMMs, see “DIMM Locations” on page 16.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause server components to fail.
These topics describe service procedures for the DIMMs in the server.
