Install a DIMM
DIMMs are cold-service components that can be replaced by customers. For the location of the
DIMMs, see “Processor Module Components” on page 18.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.
1.
Consider your first steps:
■
Familiarize yourself with DIMM configuration rules.
See “DIMM Population Rules” on page 69
■
Prepare the system for service.
See “Preparing for Service” on page 45.
■
Remove the processor module. Place the processor module on an ESD-protected work
surface.
See “Remove a Processor Module or Processor Filler Module” on page 61.
2.
Consider your next steps:
■
If you are replacing a faulty DIMM, ensure that you have removed the faulty
DIMM.
See “Remove a DIMM or DIMM Filler Panel” on page 77.
■
If you are populating a new processor module, ensure you have the correct
DIMMs for your server.
See “DIMM Population Rules” on page 69
Note - If you ordered processor modules without memory to upgrade the server from a single-
module configuration to a dual-module configuration, you must install DIMMs of the same type
and capacity that are already in the existing processor modules.
