This procedure provides a general guide for installing DIMMs as onboard memory. However, for specific directions on installing DIMMs, refer to the documentation that shipped with the DIMMs.
The blade server accommodates DDR3 (registered, ECC) @ 1066 MHz DIMMs. For more information, see Memory Support.
Caution - Always wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap when handling DIMMs. |
If the blade sever is new and not installed, unpack the blade server.
If the blade server is installed in an ATCA shelf, remove the blade server from the shelf.
All channels must be populated.
Note - Before installing a replacement DIMM, verify that the new DIMM is the same capacity as its paired DIMM.
Caution - Evenly engage the DIMM in its hinge-style slot. Uneven contact can cause shorts that will damage the blade server. Do not rock the DIMM into place. Ensure that all contacts engage at the same time. You will feel or hear a click when the DIMM properly seats in the connector. |
The socket and module are both keyed, which means that the DIMM can be installed only one way. With even pressure, push simultaneously on both upper corners of the DIMM until its bottom edge (the edge with the gold fingers) is firmly seated in the connector.
The small metal retainer clips on each side of the DIMM slot are spring-loaded and should click into place in the notches on the sides of the DIMM.
