Chapter 4: Installing Components

To install or replace DIMMs:

1

Follow the instructions in

“Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 65

.

2

Follow the instructions in

“Opening the server case” on page 66

.

3

Remove the memory board or memory board air baffle from the system board by
following the instructions in

“Installing and removing memory boards” on page 85

.

Caution

Attempts to force non-DDR2 DIMMs into a socket on the memory
board will result in damage to the DIMM, damage to the socket, or
damage to both.

Use extreme care when installing DIMMs. Applying too much
pressure can damage the DIMM socket or the DIMM. DIMMs are
keyed and can only be installed one way.

Hold DIMMs by the edges. Do not touch the gold connectors or the
components.
