Observe the following warnings when performing a hot-plug replacement procedure:
WARNING: Always comply with all electrostatic and thermal guidelines to
prevent bodily injury and ensure a properly functioning system when
performing hot-plug operations. For detailed information, refer to “About this
Guide” in the front of this guide and Appendix B, ”Electrostatic Discharge.”
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hazardous energy or
damage to the equipment when working on energized servers:
•
Remove all watches, rings, and any other loose fitting jewelry.
•
Avoid the use of conductive tools inside the server that could bridge live
parts.
Removing a Memory Board
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you
are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure.
To remove a memory board:
1.
If the server is not configured for hot-plug mirrored memory, you must power
down the server. Refer to “Powering Down the Server” in Chapter 5, “Installing
Hardware Options.”
Hot-replacement procedure:
If the server is configured for hot-plug mirrored
memory, skip to step 2.
2.
Open the rear access panel. Refer to “Opening and Removing the Access Panels”
in Chapter 5, “Installing Hardware Options.”
Hot-replacement procedure:
Determine which memory board you want to
remove by locating the memory board with an amber memory status LED and
one or more amber DIMM status LEDs. The “Ready to Hot Plug” LED must be
green, indicating that you can perform a hot-plug procedure.
NOTE:
If the “Ready to Hot Plug” LED is off on both boards, you must power down the
server before replacing DIMMs.
