Add Memory Modules

You can add memory modules to any 8000 Series Server Module (blade). Depending on the blade type, the configuration and population order might differ. The X8400, X8420, and the X8440 Server Modules ship with dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs). The X8450 Server Modules ships with Fully Buffered (FB) DIMMs. For more information about memory module configuration and population order on a server module, see Memory Module Configuration and Population Order.

Prerequisites

What to Do

  1. Locate the next available slot per the Memory Module Configuration and Population Order. For more information about the DIM locations, see

  2. Align the DIMM notch to the DIMM connector key.

  3. Using both thumbs, press the DIMM straight down into the DIMM connector slot until both ejector levers close, locking the DIMM in the DIMM connector slot.

    Note

    The DIMMs must be inserted evenly, straight down into the DIMM connector slot, until the ejector levers lock into place.

  4. Verify that the DIMM ejector levers are upright, seated, and tight.

  5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for each memory module you adding.

  6. Replace the blade cover.
