Remove

the

AGP

video

adapter

only

if

you

are

replacing

the

DIMM

in

connector

1.

See

“System

and

PCI

extender

board

options

connectors”

on

page

37

for

the

location

of

the

AGP

slot.

b.

Open

the

retaining

clip

on

each

end

of

the

DIMM

connector.

Turn

the

DIMM

so

that

the

pins

align

correctly

with

the

connector.

Attention:

To

avoid

breaking

the

retaining

clips

or

damaging

the

DIMM

connectors,

open

and

close

the

clips

gently.

c.

Touch

the

static-protective

package

containing

the

DIMM

to

any

unpainted

metal

surface

on

the

server.

Then,

remove

the

DIMM

from

the

package.

d.

Turn

the

DIMM

so

that

the

pins

align

correctly

with

the

connector.

e.

Insert

the

DIMM

into

the

connector

by

aligning

the

DIMM

edges

with

the

slots

at

each

end

of

the

DIMM

connector.

Firmly

press

the

DIMM

straight

down

into

the

connector

by

applying

pressure

on

both

ends

of

the

DIMM

simultaneously.

Be

sure

that

the

retaining

clips

snap

into

the

locked

position

when

the

DIMM

is

firmly

seated

in

the

connector.

f.

If

a

gap

exists

between

the

DIMM

and

the

retaining

clips,

the

DIMM

has

not

been

properly

installed.

In

this

case,

open

the

retaining

clips

and

remove

the

DIMM;

then,

reinsert

the

DIMM.

g.

If

you

removed

the

AGP

video

adapter,

reinstall

it

now.

See

“Adapter

installation”

on

page

47.

5.

If

you

have

other

options

to

install

or

remove,

do

so

now.

6.

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.

7.

Replace

the

side

cover.

See

“Installing

the

cover”

on

page

62.

8.

Reconnect

the

external

cables

and

power

cords;

then,

turn

on

the

peripheral

devices

and

the

server.

If

you

want

to

remove

a

DIMM,

reverse

these

steps.

Microprocessor

The

server

only

supports

one

microprocessor,

which

is

installed

on

the

system

board

in

the

microprocessor

connector

(U11).

Notes:

1.

Before

you

install

a

new

microprocessor,

review

the

documentation

that

comes

with

the

microprocessor,

so

that

you

can

determine

whether

you

need

to

update

the

server

BIOS

code.

The

latest

level

of

the

BIOS

for

the

server

is

available

through

the

World

Wide

Web;

see

http://www.ibm.com/support/.

2.

For

a

list

of

supported

operating

systems,

see

http://www.ibm.com/pc/

compat/

on

the

World

Wide

Web.

Note:

The

illustrations

in

this

document

might

differ

slightly

from

your

hardware.

Microprocessor

removal

The

server

comes

with

a

heat

sink

or

a

fan

sink

installed

on

the

microprocessor,

depending

on

your

server

model.
