DIMM Retaining clip 8. 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 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. 9. Repeat steps 5 on page 13 through 8 to install the second DIMM of the pair. Installing a memory card At least one memory card with one pair of DIMMs must be installed for the server to operate correctly. Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on. Complete the following steps to install a memory card in the server: 1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 7. 2. Make sure that the locking levers on the edge of the memory card are fully open. Insert the memory card into the memory card connector. 14 IBM xSeries 366 Type 8863: Installation Guide
