Installing and Removing Memory
The DIMMs are labelled as DIMM_A1 to DIMM_F2 on the board.
Begin populating your memory with DIMM_A1. First add memory in the first socket of each of the
following memory channels before installing the DIMMs in the second socket of a channel. In systems
with two processors, distribute the memory evenly over both processors. Please refer to Chapter 4
for more detailed information on the system memory.

To install DIMMs, follow these steps:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
3. Disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the server.
4. Remove the chassis cover.
5. Remove the memory and processor air duct.
6. Locate the DIMM sockets (see Figure 23 on page 29).
7. Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed outward to the open
position.
8. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package.
9. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the small notch in the bottom edge of the DIMM
with the key in the socket.
10. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket.
11. When the DIMM is inserted, carefully push straight down on the top edge of the DIMM until
the retaining clips snap into place. Make sure the clips are firmly in place.
