Install a Memory Riser


Caution

Caution  -  This procedure requires handling components that are sensitive to ESD. Follow antistatic practices to avoid damage or component failure.


The system must be completely powered down before performing this procedure. See Component Service Categories for more information about cold-service procedures.

Perform this procedure to install a memory riser in order to replace a faulty memory riser or to install a memory riser you removed to access other components, such as the DIMMs on the motherboard.

  1. Align the memory riser with the four standoffs.

    The handle on the memory riser is closest to the center of the server.
