2. Note the orientation of the NVDIMM in the socket so that you can insert the NVDIMM in the replacement
controller module in the proper orientation.
3. Eject the NVDIMM from its slot by slowly pushing apart the two NVDIMM ejector tabs on either side of the
NVDIMM, and then slide the NVDIMM out of the socket and set it aside.
Carefully hold the NVDIMM by the edges to avoid pressure on the components on the
NVDIMM circuit board.
4. Remove the replacement NVDIMM from the antistatic shipping bag, hold the NVDIMM by the corners, and
then align it to the slot.
The notch among the pins on the NVDIMM should line up with the tab in the socket.
5. Locate the slot where you are installing the NVDIMM.
6. Insert the NVDIMM squarely into the slot.
The NVDIMM fits tightly in the slot, but should go in easily. If not, realign the NVDIMM with the slot and
reinsert it.
Visually inspect the NVDIMM to verify that it is evenly aligned and fully inserted into the slot.
7. Push carefully, but firmly, on the top edge of the NVDIMM until the ejector tabs snap into place over the
notches at the ends of the NVDIMM.
8. Close the air duct.
Step 4: Install the controller module
After you have replaced the component in the controller module, you must re-install the
controller module into the chassis, and then boot it to Maintenance mode.
1. If you have not already done so, close the air duct at the rear of the controller module and reinstall the
cover over the PCIe cards.
2. Align the end of the controller module with the opening in the chassis, and then gently push the controller
module halfway into the system.
Do not completely insert the controller module in the chassis until instructed to do so.
3. Cable the management and console ports only, so that you can access the system to perform the tasks in
the following sections.
You will connect the rest of the cables to the controller module later in this procedure.
4. Complete the reinstallation of the controller module:
a. Make sure the latch arms are locked in the extended position.
b. Using the latch arms, push the controller module into the chassis bay until it stops.
c. Press down and hold the orange tabs on top of the latching mechanism.
d. Gently push the controller module into the chassis bay until it is flush with the edges of the chassis.
