2. Replace the top cover.
3. Install the node back into the rack and reconnect all cables.
4. Power on the node.

• All network ports are fully functional.
DIMM replacement
Use this information to remove and install a DIMM.
A node might be able to self-correct for certain memory errors, however, failed memory can lead to system
degradation and should be quickly replaced.
The following memory options are available:
• ThinkSystem 8GB TruDDR4 2666 MHz (1Rx8 1.2V) RDIMM
• ThinkSystem 16GB TruDDR4 2666 MHz (1Rx4 1.2V) RDIMM
• ThinkSystem 16GB TruDDR4 2666 MHz (2Rx8 1.2V) RDIMM
• ThinkSystem 32GB TruDDR4 2666 MHz (2Rx4 1.2V) RDIMM
• ThinkSystem 64GB TruDDR4 2666 MHz (4Rx4 1.2V) LRDIMM
Indications of a failed DIMM are:
• The Nutanix Prism Web console shows a memory error.
• A post error on boot.
• An error in the Lenovo XClarity Controller interface.
• Not all memory is detected. For example, the appliance should have 256 GB per node and the host only
shows 240 GB
