Install a DIMM
DIMMs are installed:
■
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, 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.
