–  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.

Procedure 
Attention: Make sure to remove or install memory module 20 seconds after disconnecting power cords from 
the system. It allows the system to be completely discharged of electricity and safe for handling memory 
module.
Step 1.  Locate the required memory module slot on the system board assembly. 
Note: Ensure that you observe the installation rules and sequence in 
“Memory module installation 
rules and order” on page 51
.
Step 2.  Touch the static-protective package that contains the new part to any unpainted surface on the 
outside of the server. Then, take the new part out of the package and place it on a static-protective 
surface.
Step 3.  Install the memory module into the slot. 
Attention: 
•  To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the memory module slots, open and close the 
clips gently.
•  If there is a gap between the memory module and the retaining clips, the memory module has 
not been correctly inserted. In this case, open the retaining clips, remove the memory module, 
and then reinsert it.
