Figure 27 Removing a memory module
Install the memory module
The procedure for installing a memory module and NVDIMM-N is identical.
Before you begin
Follow all safety guidelines. Ensure that you where an ESD wrist strap when handling DIMMs and
other internal components.
CAUTION Ensure that you install the NVDIMM-N battery if you are using NVDIMM-N.
CAUTION To prevent data loss and potential damage to your system, ensure that your system,
LEDs on system, LEDs on NVDIMM-N and LEDs on NVDIMM-N battery are turned off before
installing the NVDIMM-N battery.
CAUTION To ensure proper system cooling, memory module blanks must be installed in any
memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory module blanks only if you intend to
install memory modules in those sockets.
Procedure
1. Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
CAUTION
Handle each memory module only by the card edges, ensuring not to touch
the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the memory module or the memory module socket
during installation, do not bend or flex the memory module. You must insert both ends of
the memory module simultaneously.
2. Open the ejectors on the memory module socket outward to allow the memory module to be
inserted into the socket.
3. Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory
module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.
CAUTION
Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at
both ends of the memory module evenly.
Note: The memory module socket has an alignment key that enables you to install the
memory module in the socket in only one orientation.
4. Press the memory module with your thumbs until the socket levers firmly click into place.
