Installing FBDIMMs
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, the
air baffle, drive blanks, and access panel must be installed when the server is powered up.
1. Power down the server (on page 23 ).
2. Extend the server from the rack (on page 23 ).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 24 ).
4. Move the hard drive cables.
5. Remove the air baffle.
6. Open the FBDIMM slot latches.
7. Install the FBDIMM.
8. Install the air baffle.
9. Install the access panel (on page 25 ).
If you are installing FBDIMMs in an online spare or mirrored configuration, use RBSU (" HP ROM-Based
Setup Utility " on page 63 ) to configure this feature.
For more information about LEDs and troubleshooting failed FBDIMMs, see "Systems Insight Display LEDs
and internal health LED combinations (on page
15 )."
Hot-plug SAS hard drive options
When adding hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest device number (" SAS device
numbers " on page 16 ).
• Hard drives must be SFF types.
• Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
