To install a DIMM, complete the following steps:
1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 21.
2. Read the documentation that comes with the DIMMs.
3. If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see
“Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit” on page 23 for
instructions).
4. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
5. Open the blade server cover (see “Removing the blade server cover” on page
24 for instructions).
6. If an expansion unit is installed and you are installing DIMMs on the system
board, remove the expansion unit (see “Removing an optional expansion unit”
on page 26).
7. Locate the DIMM connectors (see “Blade server connectors” on page 19).
Determine which DIMM connector you will be installing memory into.
8. If a DIMM filler or another memory module is already installed in the DIMM
connector, remove it (see “Removing a memory module” on page 33).
Note: A DIMM or DIMM filler must occupy each DIMM socket before the
blade server is turned on.
9. If you are installing a DIMM in DIMM connector seven through twelve, use
your fingers to lift the DIMM access door.
10. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any
other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the
DIMM for at least two seconds; then, remove the DIMM from its package.
11. To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you
install:
