Complete the following steps to install DIMMs: 1. Review the safety information beginning on page v, and "Installation guidelines" on page 9. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. 3. Remove the server from the rack; then, remove the server cover (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on page 11). Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently. 4. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector. 5. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package. 6. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the slot. 7. 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 the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly 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. Important: In some memory configurations, the 3-3-3 beep code might sound during POST, followed by a blank monitor screen. If this occurs and the Boot Summary Screen, Boot Diagnostic Screen, or QuickBoot Mode feature on the Boot Features menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility program is enabled (its default setting), you must restart the server three times to force the basic input/output system (BIOS) to reset the configuration to the default configuration (the memory connectors enabled). 8. If you have other options to install, install them now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 31. 22 IBM 325 Type 8835: Option Installation Guide Eserver
