Installing DIMMs
After you install a new processor, install DIMMs for it. For the DIMM installation guidelines, see the
server user guide.
To install a DIMM:
1.
Open the retaining clips of the DIMM slot.

2.
Align the notch on the DIMM bottom edge with the key on the DIMM slot.
3.
Insert the DIMM into the slot and make sure the retaining clips lock the DIMM in place.
The DIMM slot has a structure that prevents misalignment. If you cannot insert the DIMM into
the slot easily, the installation might be wrong. Re-orient the DIMM and then insert it into the
slot again.
