6. Remove the bezel. See Removing the bezel assembly
7.
Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. See the illustration in “System-board connectors”
on page 15. Determine the connector into which you will install the DIMM.
8. Touch the static-protective package that contains the part to any unpainted metal surface on the
BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component; then,
remove the part from its package.
9. Verify that both of the connector retaining clips are in the fully open position.
10. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector on the system board.
Attention: To avoid breaking the DIMM retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, handle
the clips gently.
11.
Insert the DIMM by pressing the DIMM along the guides into the connector.
Verify that each retaining clip snaps into the closed position.
Important: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM is not correctly
installed. Open the retaining clips to remove and reinsert the DIMM. Install a DIMM filler in any
location where a DIMM is not present to avoid machine damage.
12. Attach the bezel. See Installing the bezel assembly
13. Install and close the blade server cover. See “Installing and closing the blade server cover” on page
33.
Statement 21
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade server is connected to the power source. Always
replace the blade server cover before installing the blade server.
14. Install the blade server into the BladeCenter unit. See “Installing the blade server in a BladeCenter
unit” on page 34.
Supported DIMMs
Each planar in the PS700 blade server contains eight very low profile (VLP) memory connectors for
registered dual inline memory modules (RDIMMs). The maximum size for a single DIMM is 8 GB. The
total memory capacity ranges for PS700 from a minimum of 4 GB to a maximum of 64 GB.
See the "Parts Listing" in the online information center or in the Problem Determination and Service Guide
for memory modules that you can order from IBM.
Memory module rules:
v Install DIMM fillers in unused DIMM slots for proper cooling.
v
Install DIMMs in pairs (1 and 3, 6 and 8, 2 and 4, 5 and 7)
v
Both DIMMs in a pair must be the same size, speed, type, and technology. You can mix compatible
DIMMs from different manufacturers.
v
Each DIMM within a processor-support group (1-4 and 5-8) must be the same size and speed.
v
Install only supported DIMMs, as described on the ServerProven Web site. See http://www.ibm.com/
servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
v
Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration of the blade server. After you install or
remove a DIMM, the blade server is automatically re-configured, and the new configuration
information is stored.
v
See “System-board connectors” on page 15 for DIMM connector locations.
