6. Install the DIMM: DIMM Retaining clip Figure 18. Installing a DIMM Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently. a. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector. Turn the DIMM so that the pins align correctly with the connector. b. 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. c. 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. 7. Close the DIMM access door or reinstall the SMP Expansion Module cover (see "Reinstalling an SMP Expansion Module and cover" on page 23). 8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. 9. Close the server cover; then, go to "Completing the installation" on page 33. Note: When you restart the server after you install or remove DIMMs, the server displays a message indicating that the memory configuration has changed. You must use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to save the new configuration information. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings.
