Install a memory module
Use this information to install a memory module.
“Read the
installation
Guidelines” on
page 79
“Power off
the server for
this task” on
page 11
“ATTENTION:
Static Sensitive Device
Ground package before opening”
on page 82
Attention:
• Disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Memory modules are sensitive to static discharge and require special handling. Refer to the standard
guidelines for “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 82:
– 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 or passive components by the high insertion force.
Before installing a memory module:
1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new memory module to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the new memory module out of the package and place it on a
static-protective surface.
2. Locate the required memory module slot on the system board. See “Memory module installation rules”
on page 107. Ensure that you observe the installation rules and sequence.
To install a memory module, complete the following steps:
