Installing Memory Modules

WARNING:

The memory modules are hot to the touch for some time after the

blade has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to cool before
handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching
the components.

1 Remove the blade. See "Removing a Blade" on page 155.
2 Open the blade. See "Opening the Blade" on page 159.
3 Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure 7-13 or Figure 7-12.
4 PowerEdge M910 and M905 systems only - You must slide the system board

back in the blade chassis to access memory sockets (B1-B8) and (D1-D8)

for M910 and (C1-C4) and (D1-D4) for M905. See step 1 through step 8

in "Removing the System Board" on page 276.

5 Press the ejectors on the memory module socket down and out, as shown

in Figure 3-22, to allow the memory module to be inserted into the socket.
If a memory module blank is installed in the socket, remove it.
