Page 65 highlights

When the server is configured for hot-plug mirrored memory or hot-plug RAID memory, you can perform a hot-replacement procedure without powering down the server or experiencing server downtime: 1. Remove a memory board ("Removing a memory board" on page 67, "Removing a memory board (non-hot-plug)" on page 65). 2. Replace failed or degraded DIMMs ("Removing DIMMs" on page 68). 3.

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. WARNING: To prevent personal injury from hazardous energy: • Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. • Use tools with insulated handles. • Do not place tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
