36 Chapter 2 Installing or Replacing Components
To install memory:
1 Review the memory installation rules and make sure you have the right type of DIMMs.
2 Shut down the Xserve and unplug all cables.
Important: Be sure the Xserve is turned off and the power cords are unplugged before
you install or remove memory.
3 Remove the Xserve from the rack and open it. For instructions, see “Opening and
Closing the Xserve” on page 30.
4 Open the ejectors on a slot by pushing them outward.
Important: Don’t touch the gold connectors on the DIMMs.
5 Without touching its gold connectors, align a DIMM in the slot and push straight down
on both ends until the DIMM is seated and the ejectors snap upright.
6 Repeat for the second DIMM of the pair and for additional pairs.
Important: Be sure to add DIMMs in the order shown in the illustration.
WARNING: Always wait 5 to 10 minutes for the Xserve to cool down before you try to
install memory. DIMMs that are already installed and other components near the
DIMM slots may be very hot.
