Oracle SPARC T7-2 - Install a DIMM

Install a DIMM
Install a DIMM
Caution - This procedure requires handling components that are sensitive to ESD. Follow
antistatic practices to avoid damage or component failure.
DIMMs are installed:
■
When adding memory to the server.
■
When replacing faulty DIMMs.
■
When replacing a faulty motherboard.
To ensure proper airflow, DIMM fillers must be installed if you are downgrading memory in the
server, or are replacing a faulty memory riser without upgrading memory.
You can perform this procedure, but the server must first be completely powered down and all
power cords unplugged. See “Component Service Categories” on page 50 for more information
about cold-service procedures.
Caution - Whenever you remove a DIMM, you should replace it with another DIMM before
applying power to the server. Otherwise, the server might overheat due to improper airflow.
1.
Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
Then unpack the DIMMs and place them on an antistatic mat.
