Installing a DIMM Before you begin Read "Safety Information" on page 196 Read the instructions that come with the new system memory. Turn the server and all other connected devices off. Turn off the server and all other connected devices. Disconnect all cables attached to the server and remove the server cover (see "Preparing to install and remove options" on page 73). Read "Accessing the system board" on page 82. Note For information on memory configuration, see "Memory configuration" on page 85. 1. See "Identifying parts on the system board" on page 80 to locate the memory connectors on the system board. 2. If an adapter, the air baffle, or cables restrict your access to the memory connectors, you might have to remove them. To remove an adapter, see "Removing adapters" on page 102. To remove the air baffle, see "Removing and replacing the air baffle" on page 82. 3. Be sure the retaining clips are in the open position, as shown in the illustration on the right. If the retaining clips are perpendicular with the connector, push outward on them until they click open. 4. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted (bare) metal surface in the server, and then remove the DIMM. 5. Position the DIMM above the connector so that the two notches on the bottom edge of the DIMM align properly with the connector. 6. Firmly push the DIMM straight into the connector until the retaining clips pop closed and snugly fit around both ends of the DIMM. 86 Netfinity Server HMM
