CAUTION:
The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the

remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the
power source.
About this task
Important: Ensure that you consider and follow the memory module installation rules when performing the
operation, see “Memory module installation rules” on page 45.
Attention:
• Read “Safety inspection checklist” on page 43 and “Installation Guidelines” on page 41 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Touch the static-protective package that contains the component to any unpainted metal surface on the
server; then, remove it from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
Memory modules are sensitive to static discharge and require special handling. In addition to the standard
guidelines of “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 44:
• Always wear an electrostatic-discharge strap when removing or installing memory modules. Electrostatic-
discharge gloves can also be used.
• Keep each memory module separated from one another. Do not stack memory modules directly on top of
each other during storage.
• Keep the gold memory module connector contacts from touching anything.
• Handle memory modules with care: never bend, twist, or drop a memory module.
