Installing a microprocessor
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
To install a DIMM:
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to the following Web site and search for ESD: http://www.ibm.com
1. Review the information in “Before you begin” on page 66 and in “Safety
information” on page 67. Also review the documentation that comes with your
option.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover. (See “Removing the cover and bezel” on
page 72.)
3. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted metal
surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.
Note:
To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors,
handle the clips gently.
4. Install the DIMM:
a. Turn the DIMM so that the pins align correctly with the connector.
b. Insert the DIMM into the connector by pressing on one edge of the DIMM
and then on the other edge of the DIMM. Be sure to press straight into the
connector. Be sure that the retaining clips snap into the closed positions.
c. Make sure the retaining clips are in the closed position. 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.
5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Installing the server cover and bezel” on page 92.
