Riser card assembly Release tab Air baffle Release tab 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 9. 2. Hold the air baffle by the tabs on each side. Align the front of the air baffle with the rear of the fan bracket assembly and the side of the heat sink on microprocessor number one. 3. Slide the air baffle down into the server until the bottom edge rests on the system board. Installing a memory module The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs: v The server supports up to sixteen Registered DDR2 PC2-5300, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB DIMMs, for a maximum of 64 GB of system memory. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for a list of memory modules you can use with the server. Note: Because some memory is reserved for system operation, the actual usable memory size reported by the operating system will be less than the total installed size. 14 IBM System x3655 Type 7985: Installation Guide
