v Install only fully buffered double-data-rate dual-channel (FB-DDR2), PC2-5300, registered SDRAM with ECC DIMMs. For a current list of supported DIMMs for the blade server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/ us/. v Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information of the blade server. After installing or removing a DIMM, you must change and save the new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you restart the blade server, 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 40 for more information) to save changes. DIMM Retaining clip 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. If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see "Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 17 for instructions). 4. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface. 5. Open the blade server cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 18 for instructions). 6. If a Memory and I/O Expansion Blade is installed and you are installing DIMMs on the system board, remove the expansion blade (see "Removing an expansion unit" on page 19). 7. If the blade server is equipped with a DIMM air baffle, lift it off of the system board and store it in a safe place. 8. Locate the DIMM connectors (see the illustrations in "Blade server connectors" on page 14). Determine the connectors into which you will install the DIMMs. 9. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the DIMM for at least 2 seconds; then, remove the DIMM from its package. 24 BladeCenter HS21 Type 8853: Installation and User's Guide
