DIMM Retaining clip 10. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the slots at the ends of the DIMM connector. Firmly press one end of the DIMM into the connector; then, press the other end into the connector. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is seated in the connector. If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly inserted; open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it. If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 26. Installing a memory card At least one memory card with one pair of DIMMs must be installed in the server to operate correctly. To install a memory card, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 9. 2. If you are not hot-adding the memory card, turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables as necessary to replace the device. 3. Remove the server cover. Attention: When you move the memory card, do not allow it to touch any components or structures inside the server. 4. Make sure that the retention levers on the edge of the memory card are fully open, and insert the memory card into the memory-card connector on the microprocessor board. 5. Press the memory card into the connector and close the small retention lever. 6. Wait 2 seconds and close the large retention lever. 7. Slide the orange release latch to the locked position. 18 IBM System x3850 M2 and System x3950 M2 Type 7141: Installation Guide
