Figure 29. Memory module installation
a.  Open the memory module connector retaining clips. If a memory module is already installed in 
the connector, remove it.
b.  Align the keys on the memory module that you are installing with the connector; then, insert the 
memory module.
c.  Firmly press both ends of the memory module straight down into the connector until the 
retaining clips snap into the locked position.
Step 2.  If you are installing additional memory modules, do so now.
After installing a memory module option: 
1.  Install the upper compute system board or compute system board filler, if it was removed. See “Install a 
compute system board” on page 128.
2.  Install the compute tray . See “Install the compute tray (fully removed)” on page 125.
3.  If you have no additional options to install in the upper or lower compute tray, install the front cover. See 
“Install the front cover” on page 65.
Install a hard disk drive backplane
Hard disk drive backplanes are in the upper and lower compute trays that are accessed from the front of the 
server. The installation procedure for backplanes in the upper and lower compute trays is different.
Install a hard disk drive backplane (upper tray)
Hard disk drive backplanes in the upper compute tray or optional storage tray are accessed from the front of 
the server. There are several types of hard disk drive backplane. Steps that are backplane specific are noted 
in each procedure.
