Install DIMMs

Always replace a DIMM with the same Oracle part number as the failed DIMM.

Before You Begin

• DIMM Population Rules and Guidelines

• Remove DIMMs.

To install DIMMs on the Sun Blade X3-2B motherboard:

1. Prepare the server module for service.

   See Preparing the Sun Blade X3-2B for Service .

2. Unpack the replacement DIMMs and place them on an antistatic mat.
3. Ensure that the connector slot ejector tabs are in the open position.
4. Line up the replacement DIMM with the connector.

   Align the DIMM notch with the key in the connector. This ensures that the DIMM is oriented correctly.

   
   
5. Push the DIMM into the slot until the ejector tabs lift and lock the DIMM in place.

   Caution - Component damage. If the DIMM does not easily seat into the connector, verify correct orientation. If the orientation is reversed, damage to the DIMM or DIMM slot might occur.

6. Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 until all replacement DIMMs are installed.
7. Prepare the server module for operation.

   See Returning Sun Blade X3-2B to Operation .

8. Verify DIMM component information.

   Use the Oracle ILOM web interface or CLI to view DIMM component information.
