Use this procedure to install a memory riser (MR) card into its slot.

Before You Begin

  1. Ensure that all populated and unpopulated DIMM slot ejector levers are in the closed and locked position.

    Caution

    Caution  -  Component damage. Open DIMM ejector levers can break off during the installation of the memory riser (MR) card. All populated and unpopulated DIMM slot ejector levers on the MR card must be in the fully-closed and locke position before installing the card in the server.


  2. Ensure that the MR card ejector levers are in the closed position.

    The ejector levers are only used to remove a MR card and are not used to install a card.

  3. Orient the MR card over the slot on the motherboard.

    The DIMMs on the card must face the left (when positioned at the front of the server).

  4. Lower the MR card into the server and set it on the slot on the motherboard.

  5. Ensure that the MR card connector is aligned with the slot.
  6. To install the card, firmly push down on the metal bracket on top of the card.

    This action seats the card within the connector on the motherboard.

  7. Prepare the server for operation. See Prepare the Server for Operation.
