service technicians” on page 115.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables, if
necessary.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing and installing the cover” on page 119).
4. Remove the DIMM air baffle (see “Removing and installing the DIMM air baffle” on page 121).
5. Open the retaining clip 2 on each end of the DIMM connector.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close
the clips gently.

DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips 2 snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly
seated in the connector.
Note: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly
inserted; open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it.
