Working with memory modules
Before you begin:
Ÿ
Read “Electrical safety” on page 70 and “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 71.
Ÿ
Read the documentation that comes with the option.
Ÿ
Read “Accessing the system board” on page 78.
Notes:
1. When you are removing a memory module, be careful not to
push too hard on the retaining clips because the memory
module might abruptly eject from the connector.
2. Each memory connector contains two keys (dividers), which are
used to assure that a memory-module can be installed only in
the correct position.
3. A retaining clip at each end of the connector locks the memory
module into place.
4. For information about memory configuration, see Table 1 and
Table 2 on page 98.
To install a DIMM:
1. Remove the server side cover (see “Disconnecting cables and
removing the side cover” on page 74).
2. Locate the memory connectors on the system board. See the
illustration at the beginning of this section.
3. Be sure that the retaining clips are in the open position, as
shown in the following right-hand illustration. If the retaining
clips are perpendicular to the connector, push outward on them
until they click open.
