WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected
from the server prior to performing this procedure.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source is
connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow
ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly
To remove the memory carrier assembly, follow these steps:
1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See “Powering Off the Server”
(page 90).
2. If rack installed, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extending the Server from
the Rack” (page 176).
3. Unlatch the cover release lever on the top cover and remove the memory carrier assembly
cover. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 179).
NOTE: You do not need to fully remove the top cover to service this component; however,
the top cover release lever must be open.
4. Press the button located in the center of the memory carrier assembly to release the extraction
handles (Figure 67).
CAUTION: Manipulate the extraction handles with care; failure to observe this caution can
result in damage to the extraction handles.
5. Pull up on the extraction handles, and rotate them outward approximately 90 degrees
(Figure 67).
NOTE: The extraction handles latch into the open position with an audible click.
6. Pull the extraction handles to lift the memory carrier assembly out of the chassis (Figure 67).
NOTE: To avoid damage to the extraction handles, HP recommends rotating the handles
inward and snapping them into the locked position when servicing the system DIMMs or any
time the carrier is out of the chassis. Before replacing the memory carrier assembly, press the
button to release the extraction handles. Use the handles to replace the memory carrier into
the chassis.
