To install a memory module in the MAX5 expansion module, complete the
following steps.
Note: The MAX5 might come with DIMM fillers on DIMM connectors that are not
populated. Remove them before you install DIMMs in those connectors.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page “Safety” on page v and
“Installation guidelines” on page 44.
2. Turn off the host server (see “Turning off the server” on page 24) and all
attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all
external cables from the server. Disconnect all power cords from the MAX5;
then, disconnect all external cables from the MAX5.
3. Remove the bezel (see “Removing the MAX5 bezel” on page 118).
4. Remove the system-board tray (see “Removing the MAX5 bezel” on page 118).
5. Remove any DIMM fillers from the DIMM slots that you want to populate.
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new DIMM to any
unpainted metal surface on the outside of the MAX5; then, remove the DIMM
from the package.
7. Carefully open both retaining clips on each end of the DIMM connector.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
8. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.
9. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with
the slots at the ends of the DIMM connector.
10. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure
on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the
locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.
Note: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM
has not been correctly inserted; open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM,
and then reinsert it.
11. Replace the system-board tray (“Replacing the MAX5 system-board tray” on
page 127). Grasp the system-board tray on both sides (near the stop-tabs) and
align the system-board tray with the chassis.
