• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding systems.
• Make sure to adopt one of the supported configurations listed in
“Memory module installation rules and
order” on page 56
.
• Memory modules are sensitive to static discharge and require special handling. Refer to the standard
guidelines at
“Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 54:
– Always wear an electrostatic-discharge strap when removing or installing memory modules.
Electrostatic-discharge gloves can also be used.
– Never hold two or more memory modules together so that they do not touch each other. Do not stack
memory modules directly on top of each other during storage.
– Never touch the gold memory module connector contacts or allow these contacts to touch the outside
of the memory module connector housing.
– Handle memory modules with care: never bend, twist, or drop a memory module.
– Do not use any metal tools (such as jigs or clamps) to handle the memory modules, because the rigid
metals may damage the memory modules.
– Do not insert memory modules while holding packages or passive components, which can cause
package cracks or detachment of passive components by the high insertion force.
Important: Remove or install memory modules for one processor at a time.
Firmware and driver download: You might need to update the firmware or driver after replacing a
component.
• Go to
https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/products/servers/thinksystem/sr630v3/7d72/downloads/driver-
list/
to see the latest firmware and driver updates for your server.
• Go to
“Update the firmware” on page 433 for more information on firmware updating tools.
Procedure
Step 1. Power off the server and disconnect all power cords.
Step 2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the memory module to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the memory module out of the package and place it on a
static-protective surface.
Step 3. Locate the required memory module slot on the processor board.
Note: Ensure that you observe the installation rules and sequence in
“Memory module installation
rules and order” on page 56
.
