Before You Begin

• For component information, see About System Components.

• Remove a DIMM

1. Prepare the server for warm or cold service. See Prepare the Server for Warm Service or Prepare the Server for Cold Service.

4. Locate the DIMM slot.
5. To align the DIMM in the slot, ensure that the notch on the DIMM connector lines up with the key in the DIMM slot.
   
6. To install the DIMM in the slot, simultaneously press down on both edges of the DIMM.

   This action forces the DIMM into the slot and causes the two slot levers to rise and lock the DIMM in the slot.

   
   
7. Verify that the DIMM sits evenly in the slot and is locked.

   Both levers should be in their fully closed and vertical position. In this position the levers lock the DIMM in the slot.

8. Install the CMOD cover. See Remove and Install the CMOD Cover.
