Hot-replacement procedure, Removing the memory board

Page 37 highlights

Removal and Replacement Procedures 3. Disengage the locking switch (1). Hot-replacement procedure: After turning the locking switch, the LEDs turn off, except the amber LEDs. Wait until all green LEDs are off before proceeding. Make note of which DIMM status LED remains amber. This is the DIMM you need to remove and replace. CAUTION: Do not attempt to unlock the memory board in an operational server when the Ready to Hot Plug LED is not green. This generates an audible alarm and causes the memory board LEDs to flash amber. Proceeding to remove the memory board after the audible and visible alarms causes system failure. CAUTION: To prevent system failure, do not remove the memory board from the server until the memory status LED stops blinking. 4. Press the release latches inward firmly (2), disengaging the board from the server. Do not squeeze the latches. 5. Lift the ejector levers up (3). 6. Pull the memory board up out of the server (4). Hot-replacement procedure: While the memory board with the failed or degraded DIMM is being replaced, the system continues to read and write from the operational memory board.
