CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are
properly grounded before beginning this procedure.
CAUTION: Failure to properly handle DIMMs can cause damage to DIMM components and
the system board connector.
Before installing memory on the server:
• Verify that the memory is supported on the server. For more information, see the product
QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs).
• Review the "DIMM handling guidelines (on page 72)."
• Review the "General DIMM and NVDIMM-N population guidelines ("General DIMM and NVDIMM-N
slot population guidelines" on page 70)."
• If installing NVDIMM-Ns:
o Verify that only lntel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors are installed on the server.
o Verify that the HPE Smart Storage Battery is installed on the server.
o Verify that one regular RDIMM is installed on the server. The system cannot have only
NVDIMM-Ns installed.
o Update the system ROM to the supported single point system ROM release. For more
information, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/support/NVDIMM).
o Review additional server requirements in the HPE 8GB NVDIMM User Guide on the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Information Library (http://www.hpe.com/info/NVDIMM-docs).
• When installing DIMMs in the server, use the procedure according to the DIMM types being installed:
o Install a DIMM ("Installing a DIMM" on page 73) — For installing regular DIMMs and LRDIMMs
o Installing an NVDIMM (on page 73) — For installing NVDIMM-Ns with an HPE Smart Storage
Battery
DIMM handling guidelines
CAUTION: Failure to properly handle DIMMs can cause damage to DIMM components and
the system board connector.
When handling a DIMM, observe the following guidelines:
• Avoid electrostatic discharge.
• Always hold DIMMs by the side edges only.
• Avoid touching the connectors on the bottom of the DIMM.
• Never wrap your fingers around a DIMM.
• Avoid touching the components on the sides of the DIMM.
• Never bend or flex the DIMM.
When installing a DIMM, observe the following guidelines:
• Before seating the DIMM, open the DIMM slot and align the DIMM with the slot.
• To align and seat the DIMM, use two fingers to hold the DIMM along the side edges.
• To seat the DIMM, use two fingers to apply gentle pressure along the top of the DIMM.
