Follow the instructions in “Installing a DIMM” or “Removing a DIMM,” as
appropriate, found later in this section.

into place.

their power sources and turn them on.

and peripherals from their power sources. Remove the computer cover, rotate
the power supply, and check the installed DIMMs to make sure that they are
seated properly in their sockets. Then repeat steps 5, 6, and 7.

changing Chassis Intrusion to Not Detected .
See Chapter 3, “Using the System Setup Program,” for instructions.
NOTE: If a setup password has been assigned by someone else, contact your
network administrator for information on resetting the chassis intrusion detector.
