3. Remove the server from the rack; then, remove the server cover (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on page 27). Attention: v Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the DIMMs. Make sure that the DIMMs are completely and correctly seated in the slots. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or to the DIMMs. v When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For information about handling these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 25. v To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM slots, handle the clips gently. Do not force the DIMMs into the slots. 4. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package. 5. Install the DIMM in the slot: a. Open the retention latches and insert the DIMM straight into the slot, pressing down on both corners of the DIMM at the same time. b. The side of the DIMM with the gold-edge connectors has an index slot, offset from the center of the DIMM. Align the index slot with the slot on the system board. c. Make sure that there is no gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips. If there is a gap, remove the DIMM; then, reinsert it correctly. 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 choice on the Boot Features menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility program is enabled (the 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). 6. If you have other options to install, install them now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 47. 38 325 Type 8835: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide Eserver

static-sensitive
devices,
take
precautions
to
avoid
damage
from
static
electricity.
For
information
about
handling
these
devices,
see
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”

v
To
avoid
breaking
the
retaining
clips
or
damaging
the
DIMM
slots,

the
clips
gently.
Do
not
force
the
DIMMs
into
the
slots.
4.
Touch
the
static-protective
package
containing
the
DIMM
to
any
unpainted
metal
surface
on
the
server.
Then,
remove
the
DIMM
from
the
package.
5.
Install
the
DIMM
in
the
slot:
a.
Open
the
retention
latches
and
insert
the
DIMM
straight
into
the
slot,
pressing
down
on
both
corners
of
the
DIMM
at
the
same
time.
b.
The
side
of
the
DIMM
with
the
gold-edge
connectors
has
an
index
slot,
offset
from
the
center
of
the
DIMM.
Align
the
index
slot
with
the
slot
on
the
system
board.
c.
Make
sure
that
there
is
no
gap
between
the
DIMM
and
the
retaining
clips.
If
there
is
a
gap,
