To install baseboard DIMMs
1 Prepare the server for DIMM installation as described in “Preparing
the server for hardware maintenance” on page 120.
2 Hold the DIMM only by its edges when you remove it from its
antistatic package.
3 Compare the length of the gold-edge connectors on the DIMM with
the socket, and align them accordingly.
4 Press the DIMM firmly down until it clicks into place inside the
socket.
Result: The plastic ejector levers close automatically indicating
correct installation.

CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage and data corruption

metals (from the use of other DIMMs) can cause later memory
failures, resulting in data corruption.

Failure to follow the procedures in “Preparing the
server for hardware maintenance” on page 120 can
