5. Place a memory card on a flat, static-protective surface, with the DIMM connectors facing up. Attention: To avoid breaking the DIMM retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently. 6. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector. 7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server; then, remove the DIMM from the package. 8. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the slot. DIMM Retaining clip 9. 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. 10. Replace the memory card: a. Insert the memory card into the memory-card connector. b. Press the memory card into the connector and close the retention levers. c. Slide the orange release latch to the locked position. If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 50. Hot-swapping DIMMs To hot-swap DIMMs, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 26. Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on. 42 IBM System x3850 M2 and System x3950 M2 Type 7141: User's Guide
