Remove

the

support-bracket

assembly

and

disconnect

the

fan

cable

from

the

connector

(SYSFA1)

on

the

system

board.

See

“Removing

for

the

location

of

the

fan

cable

connector.

4.

Access

the

drive

cage.

a.

If

the

server

has

hard

disk

drives

installed

in

the

drive

cage,

disconnect

the

power

and

signal

cables

from

the

rear

of

the

drives.

b.

Rotate

the

drive

cage

out

of

the

server

until

it

locks

into

place

over

the

drive

cage

retention

tab.

Note:

Before

you

install

a

hard

disk

drive,

ensure

that

the

drive

cage

locks

into

place

over

the

drive

cage

retention

tab

by

pressing

on

the

side

of

the

drive

cage.

5.

Touch

the

static-protective

package

containing

the

drive

to

any

unpainted

metal

surface

on

the

server;

then,

remove

the

drive

from

the

package

and

place

it

on

a

static-

protective

surface.

6.

Set

any

jumpers

or

switches

on

the

drive

according

to

the

documentation

that

comes

with

the

drive.

7.

Attach

the

blue

plastic

guide

rails

to

the

sides

of

the

drive

using

the

screws

and

guide

rails

provided

in

the

drive

cage.

8.

Slide

the

drive

into

the

drive

cage

until

the

plastic

tabs

on

the

guide

rails

lock

into

place

in

the

drive

cage.

9.

Lift

the

drive

cage

up

and

press

in

on

the

drive

cage

release

tab;

then,

rotate

the

drive

cage

back

into

the

server.

Note:

Clear

any

cables

that

might

impede

the

replacement

of

the

drive

cage.

10.

Connect

the

power

and

signal

cables

to

the

rear

of

each

drive.

Note:

Make

sure

to

route

the

signal

cable

so

that

it

does

not

block

the

air

flow

to

the

rear

of

the

drives

or

over

the

microprocessor.

11.

If

you

have

other

options

to

install

or

remove,

do

so

now.

12.

Replace

the

support-bracket

assembly

and

reconnect

the

fan

cable

to

the

connector

(SYSFA1)

on

the

system

board.

See

“Removing

the

support

bracket

assembly”

on

page

45

for

details.

See

“System

board

internal

cable

connectors”

on

page

38

for

the

location

of

the

fan

cable

connector.

13.

Reinstall

the

side

cover.

See

“Installing

the

cover”

on

page

62

for

details.

14.

Reconnect

the

external

cables

and

power

cords;

then,

turn

on

the

peripheral

devices

and

the

server.

Memory

modules

Adding

memory

to

the

server

is

an

easy

way

to

make

programs

run

faster.

You

can

increase

the

amount

of

memory

in

the

server

by

installing

options

called

memory

modules.

The

server

uses

a

noninterleaved

memory

configuration.

Memory

considerations:

v

The

server

comes

with

a

DIMM

installed

on

the

system

board

in

DIMM

connector

1.

When

installing

additional

memory

modules,

install

the

second

memory

module

in

DIMM

connector

2,

and

the

third

in

DIMM

connector

3.

(See

the

illustration

in

this

section

for

memory

connector

locations.)

v

The

xSeries

200

server

supports

128

MB,

256

MB,

and

512

MB

DIMMs.

The

server

supports

a

minimum

of

128

MB

and

a

maximum

of

1.5

GB

of

system
