Electrostatic Discharge Precautions.
The procedures in this section require opening the server and exposing the system to
electrostatic discharge. Always observe all electrostatic precautions when working with
components inside or out of the server. Failure to follow these precautions may result in
component damage or loss of system reliability.
• Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap.
• Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge
is discharged from your body to ground.
Before You Do Anything...
• Power down the system.
• Unplug the server.
NOTE Cabinet-mounted servers must be removed from the cabinet before proceeding.
• Remove the top of the server by unscrewing the knurled captive screws on each side
of the rear of the server. Slide the top back, lift it off, and set it aside.
Step 1. Install the first 512MB Cache Memory SIMM in either unoccupied slot.
Step 2. Install the second 512MB Cache Memory SIMM in the remaining unoccupied slot.
Step 3. Proceed to A-Class Server Power Up and Boot Procedures.
