Removing the DDR3 compute book cover
This information provides instructions on how to remove the DDR3 compute book
cover.
About this task
The DDR3 compute book has a cover on the left side and a cover on the right side
for access to the microprocessor and DIMMs. Use the same procedure to remove
both covers.
To access the microprocessor and DIMMs 1 through 12, remove the left cover.
To access DIMMs 13 through 24, remove the right cover.
To remove the DDR3 compute book covers, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on page “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 45.
2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 41) and all attached
peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external
cables as necessary to replace the device.
3.
Remove the compute book from the server. Pull the top fan-pack handle down
and slide the blue release latch (behind the fan handle) to the right to release
