7. Remove the tray temporarily; then, remove the two screws from the screw holes on the system
board and replace the tray. Secure the tray to the system board with screws from the kit.
Attention: Do not press on the top of the hard disk drive. Pressing the top could damage the
drive.
8. Place the hard disk drive (D) into the tray and push it, from the rear edge of the drive, into the
connector on the riser card until the drive moves past the lever at the back of the tray. The drive
clicks into place.
9. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to “Completing the
installation” on page 41.
Installing memory modules
When you install memory, you must install a pair of matched dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs).
Notes:
1. The system board contains eight DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory interleaving.
2. The DIMM options available for your blade server are 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB. Your
blade server supports a minimum of 512 MB and a maximum of 16 GB of system memory.
3. Install the DIMMs in the following order:
4. Both DIMMs in a pair must be the same size, speed, type, technology and manufacturer. You
CAN NOT mix various manufacturers within a given pair from the Tested Memory List.
5. Installation of additional pairs of DIMMS must meet the same rules as the first pair EXCEPT
that a different manufacturer from the Tested Memory List may be used as long as both DIMMS
are from the same manufacturer.
Example:
Pair 1: Manufacturer X 256 MB, PC2100
Pair 2: Manufacturer Y 512 MB, PC2100
6. Install only 2.5 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR), PC2100, registered synchronous dynamic
random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC) DIMMs. These DIMMs
must be compatible with the latest PC2100 SDRAM Registered DIMM specification. Refer to
the Tested Memory List (available from your Service Representative) for a list of DIMMs
qualified for your blade server.
