5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the
package.
6. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.
7. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the
slots at the ends of the DIMM connector (see “System-board optional device
connectors” on page 46 for the locations of the DIMM connectors).
8. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on
both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked
position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.
Note: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM
has not been correctly inserted; open the retaining clips, remove the
DIMM, and then reinsert it.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 85.
Installing drives
The following notes describe the type of drives that the server supports and other
information that you must consider when you install a drive. For a list of supported
drives, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.

Locate the documentation that comes with the drive and follow those instructions
in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
v
Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in
the documentation that comes with the drive.
v Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.

The server supports one ultra-slim SATA optical drive.
v Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you have to
set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA
hard disk drive, be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID for that device.
v
The hot-swap server models support six 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or hot-swap
SATA hard disk drives. The simple-swap server models support four 2.5-inch
simple-swap SATA hard disk drives.
v
You can mix SAS and SATA hot-swap hard disk drives in the same server as
long as they are not on the same array.
