3. Remove the power supply or power supplies from the server. 4. Raise the power-supply cage out of the way: a. Press in on the power-supply latch bracket, which is on the left side of the server when you are facing the rear of the server. b. Lift the end of the power-supply cage and rotate the cage up until it stops. The tab on the rear power-supply latch bracket clicks into place when the cage is completely out of the way. c. Let the power-supply cage rest on the rear power-supply latch bracket. Attention: To avoid breaking the DIMM retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently. 5. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector. 6. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package. 7. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector. 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 firmly 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. If you have other optional devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 46. Installing a microprocessor The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor: v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/ us/compat/. v The server supports Intel Xeon dual-core or quad-core 1.6 GHz or higher microprocessors in each socket. If you are installing two microprocessors, they must be the same cache size and type, and the same clock speed. v Some models support dual-core processors and quad-core processors. Do not use dual-core processors and quad-core processors in the same system. Install all dual-core or all quad-core processors in the server. v To ensure that the server operates correctly, use microprocessors that have the same cache and type, and the same clock speed.

Remove
the
power
supply
or
power
supplies
from
the
server.
4.
Raise
the
power-supply
cage
out
of
the
way:
a.
Press
in
on
the
power-supply
latch
bracket,
which
is
on
the
left
side
of
the
server
when
you
are
facing
the
rear
of
the
server.
b.
Lift
the
end
of
the
power-supply
cage
and
rotate
the
cage
up
until
it
stops.
The
tab
on
the
rear
power-supply
latch
bracket
clicks
into
place
when
the
cage
is
completely
out
of
the
way.
c.
Let
the
power-supply
cage
rest
on
the
rear
power-supply
latch
bracket.
Attention:
To
avoid
breaking
the
DIMM
retaining
clips
or
damaging
the
DIMM
connectors,
open
and
close
the
clips
gently.
5.
Open
the
retaining
clip
on
each
end
of
the
DIMM
connector.
6.
Touch
the
static-protective
package
containing
the
DIMM
to
any
unpainted
metal
surface
on
the
