6. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board (see the illustration), and
determine the connectors into which you will install the DIMMs.
7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM optional device to
any unpainted metal surface on the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal
surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack that you are
installing the DIMM in for at least 2 seconds; then, remove the DIMM from its
package.
8. Complete the following steps for each DIMM that you install:
a. Open the retaining clips on the DIMM connector.
b. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector on
the system board.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, handle the clips gently.
c. Insert the DIMM by pressing the DIMM along the guides into the connector.
Make sure that the retaining clips snap into the closed position.
Important: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the
DIMM has not been correctly installed. Open the retaining clips and remove
the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 22.
