The silkscreen on the board for the DIMMs displays DIMM1B, DIMM1A, DIMM2B,
DIMM2A, DIMM3B and DIMM3A, starting from the outside of the board. DIMM1B is the
socket closest to the outside edge of the server board.
Installing DIMMs
To install DIMMs, follow these steps:
1.
Power down the server system and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power
cable or the DC mains.
2.
Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see “

4.
Push the clips at each end of the DIMM socket(s) outward to the open position. See
Figure 16
.
5.
Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package.
6.
Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the small notch in the bottom edge of the
DIMM with the keys in the socket.
7.
Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket.
8.
Push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the retaining clips snap into place. Make
sure the clips are firmly in place.
