3. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away from the server. 4. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay: a. Ensure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive). b. Align the drive tray assembly with the guide rails in the bay. c. Gently push the drive tray assembly into the bay until the drive stops. d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position. e. Check the hard disk drive status light to verify that the hard disk drive is operating properly. If the amber hard disk drive status light for a drive is lit continuously, that individual drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity light is flashing, the drive is being accessed. Note: If the server has a ServeRAID controller, you might need to reconfigure the disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. Refer to the information that comes with the ServeRAID controller. 5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. Installing memory modules Adding memory to the server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You can increase the amount of memory in the server by installing options called memory-module kits. Each kit contains one industry-standard, dual in-line memory module (DIMM). The server uses a non-interleaved memory configuration. The server comes with a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) that is installed on the system board in DIMM slot 1 (labeled DIMM 1). Notes: 1. When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory module in the connector labeled DIMM 2, the third in DIMM 3, and the fourth in DIMM 4. (See the following illustration for memory-connector locations.) 2. The xSeries 220 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB , and 1 GB DIMMs. These DIMMs can be installed in any memory slot. The server supports a minimum of 128 MB and a maximum of 4 GB of system memory. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for a list of memory modules for use with the server. 3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings. See "Configuration" on page 29 for more information. 4. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware. 58 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 220 Type 8646

drive activity light is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
Note:
If the server has a ServeRAID controller, you might need to reconfigure

Installing memory modules
Adding memory to the server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You
can increase the amount of memory in the server by installing options called
memory-module kits
. Each kit contains one industry-standard, dual in-line memory
module (DIMM). The server uses a non-interleaved memory configuration.
The server comes with a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) that is installed on
the system board in DIMM slot 1 (labeled DIMM 1).
Notes:
1.
When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory
module in the connector labeled DIMM 2, the third in DIMM 3, and the fourth
in DIMM 4. (See the following illustration for memory-connector locations.)
2.
The xSeries 220 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB , and 1 GB DIMMs.
These DIMMs can be installed in any memory slot. The server supports a
minimum of 128 MB and a maximum of 4 GB of system memory. See the
ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for a list of memory
modules for use with the server.
3.
Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new
configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the
memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility
program and select
Save Settings.
