1. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
2. Open the controller air duct on the top of the controller.
a. Insert your fingers in the recesses at the far ends of the air duct.
b. Lift the air duct and rotate it upward as far as it will go.
3. Locate the DIMMs on your controller module and identify the target DIMM.
Consult either the Netapp Hardware Universe or the FRU map on your controller module for
exact DIMM locations for the AFF A70 or AFF A90.
4. Eject the DIMM from its slot by slowly pushing apart the two DIMM ejector tabs on either side of the DIMM,
and then slide the DIMM out of the slot.
Carefully hold the DIMM by the edges to avoid pressure on the components on the DIMM
circuit board.
DIMM and DIMM ejector tabs
1. Remove the replacement DIMM from the antistatic shipping bag, hold the DIMM by the corners, and align it
to the slot.
The notch among the pins on the DIMM should line up with the tab in the socket.
2. Make sure that the DIMM ejector tabs on the connector are in the open position, and then insert the DIMM
squarely into the slot.
The DIMM fits tightly in the slot, but should go in easily. If not, realign the DIMM with the slot and reinsert it.
