Before You Begin
This is a cold-service procedure that can be performed by customers.
The following 16 Gbyte configurations are supported:
|
1Requires System Firmware 8.2.1.b or later.
Note - All DIMMs associated with each CMP must be identical. See DIMM Population Rules and DIMM Rank Classification Labels.
Note - Dual-ranked x4 (2Rx4) DIMMs require System Firmware 8.2.1.b or later. See DIMM Rank Classification Labels.
To install 16 Gbyte DIMMs, do the following:
Familiarize yourself with DIMM configuration rules.
Prepare the system for service.
See DIMM Rank Classification Labels.
Note - The DIMM classification labels are visible with the DIMMs installed in the memory risers.
Note - Do not dispose of the filler panels. You may want to reuse them if any DIMMs are removed at another time.
See Install a DIMM.

Figure 5 Upgrading 16 Gbyte DIMMs (Hybrid Configuration)
1 Remove all DIMM fillers.
2 Move existing DIMMs from risers associated with CMP0 to risers associated iwith CMP1.
3 Install new DIMMs on risers associated with CMP0.
Note - Ensure that each riser is installed in the same slot from which it was removed. Installing the memory risers in the wrong slots might result in the server booting in a degraded state, with some or most of the memory disabled. See DIMM Configuration Error Messages.
Return the server to operation.
Verify DIMM functionality.
