3. Carefully lay the blade workstation on a flat, static-protective surface. 4. Open the blade workstation cover (see "Opening the blade workstation cover" on page 17 for instructions). 5. Locate the SATA storage drive in the SATA connector. Move the blue lever at the side of the storage drive tray away from the drive to release the drive. 6. From the rear edge of the drive, slide the drive out of the SATA connector. Installing memory modules The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the blade workstation supports and other information that you must consider when you install DIMMs: v The system board contains four DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory interleaving. v The DIMMs that are available for the blade workstation are 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB. Depending on the memory configuration that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, the blade workstation can support a minimum of 1 GB and a maximum of 8 GB of system memory. v The blade workstation comes with two DIMMs, in the DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 connectors. v When you install additional DIMMs, you must install them as a pair, in DIMM connectors 2 and 4. v Install the DIMMs in the following order: Pair First Second DIMM connectors 1 and 3 2 and 4 v Both DIMMs in a pair must be of the same size, speed, type, technology, and physical design. You can mix compatible DIMMs from different manufacturers. v The second pair of DIMMs does not have to be of the same size, speed, type, technology, and physical design as the first pair. v Install only 1.8 V, 240-pin, DDR2, PC2-5300 SDRAM with non-ECC DIMMs that are compatible with the latest PC2-5300 SDRAM DIMM specification, which is available from http://www.jedec.org/. For a current list of supported DIMMs for the blade workstation, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/ us/. v Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration of the blade workstation. When you restart the blade workstation, a message indicates that the memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings. See "Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices" on page 31 for more information. To install a DIMM, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 15. 2. Read the documentation that comes with the DIMMs. 3. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade workstation, and remove the blade workstation from the BladeCenter unit. See "Removing the blade workstation from the BladeCenter unit" on page 16 for instructions. 4. Carefully lay the blade workstation on a flat, static-protective surface. 20 BladeCenter HC10 Type 7996: Installation and User's Guide

Installing
memory
modules
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
dual
inline
memory
modules
(DIMMs)
that
the
blade
workstation
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
you
install
DIMMs:
v
The
system
board
contains
four
DIMM
connectors
and
supports
two-way
memory
interleaving.
v
The
DIMMs
that
are
available
for
the
blade
workstation
are
512
MB,

Depending
on
the
memory
configuration
that
is
set
