5. Insert the riser card from the option kit into an IDE connector on the blade server I/O board. Important: IDE drives must be installed in the following order: IDE connector 1 first, then IDE connector 2. 6. Place the IDE drive tray from the option kit over the riser card as shown in the illustration, aligning the tray with the screw holes on the I/O board. Two of the screw holes have screws in them. 7. Remove the tray temporarily; then, remove the two screws from the screw holes on the I/O board and replace the tray. Secure the tray to the I/O board with screws from the kit. 8. Set any jumpers or switches on the IDE drive. Important: Both IDE drives must be set to Master. Attention: Do not press on the top of the IDE drive. Pressing the top could damage the IDE drive. 9. Place the IDE drive into the tray and push it, from the rear edge of the IDE drive, into the connector on the riser card until the IDE drive moves past the lever at the back of the tray. The IDE drive clicks into place. 10. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 62. Installing memory modules The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the blade server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs: v The processor board contains eight DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory interleaving. v The DIMM options supported for your blade server are 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB (2 GB when available). Your blade server supports a minimum of 512 MB and a maximum of 8 GB (16 GB with availability of 2 GB DIMMs) of system memory. v Your blade server comes with two DIMMs installed in the DIMM 4 and DIMM 8 memory connectors (J9E1 and J9H1, respectively). When you install additional DIMMs, be sure to install them as pairs in the connectors and order shown in the following table. Pair DIMM connectors First Second Third Fourth 4 and 8 (J9E1, J9H1) 3 and 7 (J9D1, J9G1) 2 and 6 (J9C2, J9F1) 1 and 5 (J9B3, J9E2) v Both DIMMs in a pair must be the same size, type, and technology. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers. v If you are using the hot-spare memory feature, all DIMMs that are installed in the blade server must be the same size, type, and technology. If you are not using the hot-spare memory feature, the DIMMs of one memory pair do not have to match the DIMMs of the other memory pairs. To use the hot-spare memory feature, at least two DIMM pairs must be installed in the blade server. The hot spare memory feature is enabled using the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices" on page 12 for information). 44 BladeCenter HS40 Type 8839: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

Installing
memory
modules
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
dual
inline
memory
modules
(DIMMs)
that
the
blade
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
DIMMs:
v
The
processor
board
contains
eight
DIMM
connectors
and
supports
two-way
memory
interleaving.
v
The
DIMM
options
supported
for
your
blade
server
are
256
MB,
512
MB,
and
1
GB
(2
GB
when
available).
Your
blade
server
supports
a
minimum
of
512
MB
and
a
maximum
of
8
GB
(16
GB
with
availability
of
2
GB
DIMMs)
of
system
memory.
v
Your
blade
server
comes
with
two
DIMMs
installed
in
the
DIMM
4
and
DIMM
8
memory
connectors
(J9E1
and
J9H1,
respectively).
When
you
install
additional
DIMMs,
be
sure
to
install
them
as
pairs
in
the
connectors
and
order
shown
in
the
following
table.
Pair
DIMM
connectors
First
4
and
8
(J9E1,
J9H1)
Second
3
and
7
(J9D1,
J9G1)
Third
2
and
6
(J9C2,
J9F1)
Fourth
1
and
5
(J9B3,
J9E2)
v
Both
DIMMs
in
a
pair
must
be
the
same
size,
type,
and
technology.
You
can
mix
compatible
DIMMs
from
various
manufacturers.
v
If
you
are
using
the
hot-spare
memory
feature,
all
DIMMs
that
are
installed
in
the
blade
server
must
be
the
same
size,
type,
and
technology.
If
you
are
not
using
the
hot-spare
memory
feature,
the
DIMMs
of
one
memory
pair
do
not
have
to
match
the
DIMMs
of
the
other
memory
pairs.
To
use
the
hot-spare
memory
feature,
at
least
two
DIMM
pairs
must
be
installed
in
the
blade
server.
The
hot
spare
memory
feature
is
enabled
using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
(see
“Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu
choices”
on
page
12
for
information).
