IBM Flex System x440 Compute Node, Installation And Service Manual

Page: 513 / 584

What to do next
After you install the compute node cover, install the compute node into the chassis
(see “Installing a compute node in a chassis” on page 490 for instructions).
Removing a DIMM
Use this information to remove a dual inline memory module (DIMM).
Before you begin
Before you remove a DIMM, complete the following steps:
1. Read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 487.
2. If the compute node is installed in an IBM Flex System chassis, remove it (see
“Removing a compute node from a chassis” on page 489 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the
compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
About this task
After you install or remove a DIMM, you must change and save the new
configuration information by using the Setup utility. When you turn on the
compute node, a message indicates that the memory configuration has changed.
Start the Setup utility and select
Save Settings (see “Using the Setup utility” on
page 26 for more information) to save changes.
Procedure
To remove a DIMM, complete the following steps.
1. Remove the cover (see “Removing the compute node cover” on page 498).
2. Remove the air baffle that is installed over the DIMM connector.
