• Avoid touching the components on the sides of the DIMM.
• Never bend or flex the DIMM.
When installing a DIMM, observe the following guidelines:
• Before seating the DIMM, open the DIMM slot and align the DIMM with the slot.
• To align and seat the DIMM, use two fingers to hold the DIMM along the side edges.
• To seat the DIMM, use two fingers to apply gentle pressure along the top of the DIMM.

SAS, SATA, and SSD drive guidelines
When adding drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
• Drives must be of the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped in the same drive array.
• Drives in the same logical volume must be of the same type. HPE SSA does not support mixing SAS,
SATA, and SSD drives in the same logical volume.
