NOTE: The memory module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the memory module in the socket in only one way. 7. Press down on the memory module with your thumbs to lock the memory module into the socket. When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket align with the ejectors on the other sockets that have memory modules installed. 8. Repeat step 5 through step 7 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules. 9. Install the cooling shroud. 10. Close the server module. 11. Install the server module in the enclosure. 12. (Optional) Press to enter the System Setup, and check the System Memory setting. The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly installed memory. 13. If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Check to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets. 14. Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. PCIe Mezzanine Cards The server module supports Dell PCIe mezzanine cards. x8 PCIe Gen 2 cards are supported. No other mezzanine cards, such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or InfiniBand are supported on server modules configured for the VRTX enclosure. The PCIe mezzanine cards provide an interface between server modules and the PCIe switches in the enclosure. NOTE: Single PCIe mezzanine card operation is not supported. Two PCIe mezzanine cards are required per server module to support the PCIe expansion cards and PERC card-based shared storage on the enclosure. NOTE: For proper operation, make sure that both PCIe mezzanine cards are set to Enabled in the system setup. Removing A PCIe Mezzanine Card CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product. 1. Remove the server modulefrom the enclosure. 2. Open the server module. 3. Open the PCIe mezzanine card latch by pressing the ridged area on the latch with your thumb, and lifting the end of the latch. NOTE: Hold the PCIe mezzanine card by its edges only. 4. Lift the PCIe mezzanine card up and away from the system board. 5. Close the retention latch. 6. Close the server module. 7. Install the server modulein the enclosure. 37
