Remove the blade from the enclosure and the cover from the blade (see "Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover" on page 93). 3. Insert each DIMM vertically into its slot, starting with slots 1A and 2A. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM incorrectly (see Figure 3-58). Figure 3-58. Installing a DIMM into a Memory Slot To Install: Insert module vertically and press down until it snaps into place. Pay attention to the bottom notch. To Remove: Use your thumbs to gently push each release tab outward to free the DIMM from the slot. 4. Gently press down on the DIMM until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules. Refer to the DIMM population rules for each blade before installing. 5. Replace the air shroud and the blade cover and install the blade module back into the enclosure. 6. Power up the blade unit (see "Powering Up a Blade Unit" on page 92). Hard Disk Drive Installation Hard disk drives are installed in "carriers" which are hot-swappable and can be removed or replaced without powering down the blade unit they reside in. A blade module needs a hard disk drive with an operating system installed to operate.
