basis.

Each

microprocessor

requires

that

two

or

more

pairs

of

DIMMs

be

installed

to

support

online

sparing.

The

DIMMs

must

be

the

same

speed,

type,

size

(or

larger),

and

technology

as

the

failed

pair

of

DIMMs

Enable

online-spare

memory

through

the

Configuration/Setup

Utility

program.

The

BIOS

code

assigns

the

online-spare

DIMM

pairs

according

to

your

DIMM

configuration.

v

When

you

install

or

remove

DIMMs,

the

server

configuration

information

changes.

When

you

restart

the

server,

the

system

displays

a

message

that

indicates

that

the

memory

configuration

has

changed.

To

install

a

DIMM,

complete

the

following

steps:

1.

Read

the

safety

information

that

begins

on

page

v

and

“Installation

guidelines”

on

page

9.

2.

Turn

off

the

server

and

peripheral

devices,

and

disconnect

the

power

cord

and

all

external

cables.

Remove

the

cover.

3.

Remove

the

riser-card

assembly

(see

“Removing

the

riser-card

assembly”

on

page

23).

Attention:

To

avoid

breaking

the

retaining

clips

or

damaging

the

DIMM

connectors,

open

and

close

the

clips

gently.

4.

Remove

the

air

baffle

(see

“Removing

the

air

baffle”

on

page

12).

5.

Open

the

retaining

clip

on

each

end

of

the

DIMM

connector.

6.

Touch

the

static-protective

package

that

contains

the

DIMM

to

any

unpainted

metal

surface

on

the

outside

of

the

server.

Then,

remove

the

DIMM

from

the

package.

7.

Turn

the

DIMM

so

that

the

key

aligns

correctly

with

the

connector.

8.

Insert

the

DIMM

into

the

connector

by

aligning

the

edges

of

the

DIMM

with

the

slots

at

the

ends

of

the

DIMM

connector.

Firmly

press

the

DIMM

straight

down

into

the

connector

by

applying

pressure

on

both

ends

of

the

DIMM

simultaneously.

The

retaining

clips

snap

into

the

locked

position

when

the

DIMM

is

firmly

seated

in

the

connector.

Note:

If

there

is

a

gap

between

the

DIMM

and

the

retaining

clips,

the

DIMM

has

not

been

correctly

inserted;

open

the

retaining

clips,

remove

the

DIMM,

and

then

reinsert

it.
