Dell EMC PowerEdge R240 - Expansion Cards and Expansion Card Risers

NOTE: The procedure to remove a memory module blank is similar to the procedure to remove a memory module. Retain the
removed memory module blank for future use.
CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the 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 ex
the memory module. You must insert both ends of the memory module simultaneously.
2
Open the ejectors on the memory module socket outward to enable 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 ejectors rmly click into place.

Next steps
1 Install the air shroud.
2 Follow the procedure listed in the After working inside your system.
3 Verify if the memory module has been installed properly, by pressing F2 and navigating to System Setup Main Menu > System BIOS
> Memory Settings . In the Memory Settings screen, the System Memory Size must reect the updated capacity of the installed
memory. If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Ensure that the memory module
is rmly seated in the memory module socket. Run the system memory test in system diagnostics.

NOTE
: A System Event Log (SEL) event is logged if an expansion card riser is not supported or missing. It does not prevent your
system from turning on. However, if a F1/F2 pause occurs with an error message, see Troubleshooting expansion cards section in
the Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers Troubleshooting Guide at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
