Remove the top cover from the server. See
Removing the Top Covercover, topremoveTo remove
the top cover, follow these steps:If rack mounted, fully extend the server out from the rack. See .Using
the Allen wrench, provided on the rear panel of the server, unlock the cover release lever (if necessary)
by turning the cam approximately 90 degrees counter-clockwise (1).Pull up on the cover release lever
to disengage the top cover from the server (2).Slide the cover toward the rear of the server until the
tabs release from the slots in the chassis (3).Lift the cover off the server (4).Removing the Top

4.
Complete the following memory installation prerequisite tasks before installing the memory:
a.
Determine the DIMM load order. For more information, see
“Memory Load Order”
(page 175)
.
b.
See
Figure 6-27
to determine the DIMM slots to populate.
c.
Read, understand, and follow the general guidelines to install memory in the server.
See
“Memory Loading Rules and Guidelines” (page 175)
.
5.
Install the DIMM by doing the following:
a.
Align the DIMM with the slot located on the memory board, and align the key in the
connector with the notch in the DIMM.
b.
Firmly and evenly push on each end of the DIMM until it seats into the slot.
c.
Ensure the extraction levers are in the fully closed position.

Removing and Replacing a Processor
The server uses single- or dual-core processors. A single-core processor contains one core, while
a dual-core processor contains two cores that function as separate processors. Dual-core processors
double the processing power of the server while maintaining the physical dimensions of a single
processor.
Table 6-2
lists the supported processor configurations in the server.
