DIMM Installation
Caution: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any
possible damage.
Installing DIMM Memory Modules
1. Power down the blade module (see "Powering Down a MicroBlade Module Unit" on
page 3-1 ).
2. Remove the blade from the enclosure.
3. Remove the air shroud that covers the DIMM slots.
4. Insert each DIMM vertically into its slot, starting with slots A1 and A2. Pay attention
to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM
incorrectly (see
Figure 3-4 ).
5. Gently press down on the DIMM until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all
modules.
6. Replace the air shroud and install the blade module back into the enclosure.
7. Power up the blade unit (see "Powering Up a MicroBlade Module Unit" on
page 3-1 ).
3-6 Hard Disk Drive Installation
Up to four SSD or two SAS3/SATA3 Spindle HDD 2.5" SAS3/SATA3 (6 Gbps) HDD/SSD
disk drives (two HDD/SSD and two SSD) can be installed in the MicroBlade module,
and cannot be removed or replaced without powering down the blade unit they reside in.
A blade module needs a hard disk drive with an operating system installed to operate.
RAID 0, 1 and 10 are supported.
Note: A MBI-6119G-C4/T4 MicroBlade module supports up to four SSD drives, but their
thickness must be less 10 mm to fit in the module.
