To install memory modules, follow these steps:
1.
If you have not already done so, remove the power cable, and remove the system
module from the chassis. See “Removing the System Module.”
2. Components on the system module are extremely sensitive to static electricity.
Before touching any of the components, ground yourself to a metal part of the
chassis, as follows:
•
Unwrap the first two folds of the wrist strap and wrap the exposed adhesive
side firmly around your wrist.
•
Unroll the rest of the strap and peel the liner from the copper foil at the opposite
end.
•
Attach the copper foil to the PCI tray. Attach the wrist strap to your wrist and to
the PCI tray (Figure 2-6).

3. Familiarize yourself with the memory (DIMM) banks (Figure 2-7) and (Figure 2-8).
There are four banks comprised of eight sockets, numbered 1 through 8. Two
sockets form a bank.
The minimum configuration has 256 MB of memory—one 128-MB module installed
in slot 1 and one 128-MB module installed in slot 2.
