Remove a DIMM
Remove a DIMM
Caution - This procedure requires handling components that are sensitive to ESD. Follow
antistatic practices to avoid damage or component failure.
DIMMs or DIMM fillers must be removed:
■
When adding memory to the server.
■
When replacing faulty DIMMs.
■
When replacing a faulty motherboard.
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 43 for more information
about cold-service procedures.
Caution - Whenever you remove a DIMM or a DIMM filler, you should replace it with another
DIMM or DIMM filler before powering on the server. Otherwise, the server might overheat due
to improper airflow.
