Installing and Removing Memory Caution: Use an ESD-approved workstation for this installation. Memory components are sensitive to ESD and require careful handling. After removing a memory riser card from the system, place it with the component side facing up on a grounded, static-free surface. Do not slide the memory riser card across any surface. The server board includes two memory riser cards that are installed in a memory riser cage. The DIMMs are installed onto these memory riser cards. The silkscreen on the memory riser cards displays DIMM_A1, DIMM_A2, DIMM_A3, DIMM_A4, DIMM_B1, DIMM_B2, DIMM_B3, and DIMM_B4 on riser card 1; and DIMM_C1, DIMM_C2, DIMM_C3, DIMM_C4, DIMM_D1, DIMM_D2, DIMM_D3, and DIMM_D4 on riser card 2. DIMM numbering starts from the inside of the board. Riser card 1 is in the the socket closest to the MCH. See "Memory" on page 19 for a discussion of the memory requirements and options. See "Additional Information and Software" on page ix for a link to the list of tested FBDIMMs. Installing FBDIMMs To install FBDIMMs, follow these steps: 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions in "Safety Information" on page 129. 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server. 3.

Installing and Removing Memory
Caution:
Use an ESD-approved workstation for this installation. Memory components are sensitive
to ESD and require careful handling. After removing a memory riser card from the system,
place it with the component side facing up on a grounded, static-free surface. Do not slide
the memory riser card across any surface.
The server board includes two memory riser cards that are installed in a memory riser
cage. The DIMMs are installed onto these memory riser cards.
The silkscreen on the memory riser cards displays DIMM_A1, DIMM_A2, DIMM_A3,
DIMM_A4, DIMM_B1, DIMM_B2, DIMM_B3, and DIMM_B4 on riser card 1; and
DIMM_C1, DIMM_C2, DIMM_C3, DIMM_C4, DIMM_D1, DIMM_D2, DIMM_D3,
and DIMM_D4 on riser card 2. DIMM numbering starts from the inside of the board.
Riser card 1 is in the the socket closest to the MCH. See
“Memory” on page 19
for a
discussion of the memory requirements and options. See
“Additional Information and
Software” on page ix
for a link to the list of tested FBDIMMs.
Installing FBDIMMs
To install FBDIMMs, follow these steps:
1.
Observe the safety and ESD precautions in
“Safety Information” on page 129
.
2.
Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
3.
Disconnect the AC power cord from the server.
4.
Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see
“Removing the Chassis Cover” on
page 24
.
5.
Loosen the thumbscrew on the DIMM cage. See letter “A” in the following figure.
6.
Lift the DIMM cage cover. See letter “B” in the figure.
