Attention: 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 system.
•  Limit your movement to prevent building up static electricity around you.
•  Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, for heating would reduce indoor 
humidity and increase static electricity.
•  Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system, particularly when working 
inside the server with the power on.
•  While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface on the 
outside of the server for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your 
body.
•  Remove the device from the package and install it directly into the server without putting it down. If it is 
necessary to put the device down, put it back into the static-protective package. Never place the device 
on the server or on any metal surface. 
•  When handling a device, carefully hold it by the edges or the frame.
•  Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
•  Keep the device from others’ reach to prevent possible damages.
Memory module installation rules and order
Memory modules must be installed in a specific order based on the memory configuration that you 
implement and the number of processors and memory modules installed in the server.
The following memory configurations and population sequences are supported by ThinkSystem SR860 V2:
See the following to locate the DIMM slots and corresponding channels.
