5.
Insert the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card into the empty slot and exert firm, even pressure to seat the
card in the slot.
CAUTION:
Ensure that you fully seat the card into the slot or the card can fail after power
is reapplied to the slot.
6.

Removing and Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly
The memory carrier assembly encloses the system DIMMs. There is one memory carrier assembly
that is available for the server, the 48-DIMM memory carrier assembly.
The memory carrier assembly has two sides, 0 and 1, each of which contain a 24-DIMM memory
board. System DIMMs seat onto the memory boards.
lists the supported memory carrier assembly configurations.
Table 4 Supported Memory Carrier Assembly Configurations
Memory Boards Installed
Memory Carrier Configuration
1 X 24-DIMM memory board
24-DIMM memory carrier (configuration 1)
2 X 24-DIMM memory boards
48-DIMM memory carrier (configuration 2)
CAUTION:
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow
ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly
WARNING!
Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected
from the server prior to performing this procedure.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source is
connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
To remove the memory carrier assembly, follow these steps:
1.
Unlatch the cover release lever on the top cover and remove the memory carrier assembly
cover. See
“Removing and Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 12)
NOTE:
You do not need to fully remove the top cover to service this component; however,
the top cover release lever must be open.
2.
Press the button located in the center of the memory carrier assembly to release the extraction
handles (
).
CAUTION:
Manipulate the extraction handles with care. Failure to observe this caution can
result in damage to the extraction handles.
3.
Pull up on the extraction handles and rotate them outward 90 degrees (
