To install the DDR3 compute book, 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.
4. Remove the compute book cover(s) to install your DIMMs (see “Removing the
DDR3 compute book cover” on page 218).
5. Install your DIMMs (see “Installing a memory module” on page 47).
6. Open the cam handle on the compute book. Pull the top fan-pack handle down
and slide the blue release latch (behind the fan handle) to the right to release
the DDR3 compute book cam handle.
7.
Align the DDR3 compute book with the bay on the server and slide it in the
server. Place one hand under the center of the compute book to support it
while sliding it into the server.
