4. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. Determine the connectors
into which you will install the DIMMs. (See Table 2 on page 42 for the correct
DIMM installation sequence.)
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM option to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the
package.
6. To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you install:
a. 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.
b. Insert the DIMM by pressing the DIMM straight into the connector. Be sure
that the retaining clips snap into the closed positions.
Note: If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM
has not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips
and remove the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM.
7. Close the cover on the air-baffle assembly.
8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Installing the server bezel and left-side cover (tower model)” on page 62 or
“Installing the server bezel and top cover (rack configuration)” on page 65.
