The following illustration shows how to install DIMMs on the system board for the blade server. DIMM socket 1 (J1) DIMM socket 2 (J5) DIMM socket 3 (J2) DIMM socket 4 (J6) Before you begin, read the documentation that comes with the DIMMs. Complete the following steps to install a DIMM: 1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 19. 2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the BladeCenter unit (see "Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 20 for instructions). 3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface. 4. Open the blade server cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 22 for instructions). 5. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. Determine the connectors into which you will install the DIMMs. 6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM option to any unpainted metal surface on the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack you are installing the DIMM option in for at least 2 seconds. Then, remove the DIMM from the package. 7. To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you install: a. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector on the system board. Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, handle the clips gently. b. Insert the DIMM by pressing the DIMM along the guides into the connector. Make sure that the retaining clips snap into the closed positions. Important: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM. 8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 35. 26 BladeCenter HS20 Type 8832: Installation and User's Guide
