Removing the DIMM from a PERC x/i Controller
This section describes the procedure to remove the memory module from
a PERC x/i Adapter or PERC x/i Integrated controller installed in a system.
CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system
cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before performing any
procedure, see your Product Information Guide for complete information about
safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE:
Depending on the generation of your PERC card, the DIMM memory
module may not be removable. PERC 5/i cards include a removable DIMM module.
PERC 6/i cards have an integrated DIMM module which cannot be removed. Do not
attempt the following procedure on a PERC 6/i adapter or integrated controller card.
1 Perform a controlled shutdown of the system in which the PERC x/i
controller is installed and remove the PERC x/i controller from the system.
See the Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller x/i and x/E User’s
Guide for more information.
CAUTION:
Running a system without the system cover installed may cause
damage due to improper cooling.
2 Remove the memory module by pressing down on the tabs at each edge
of the memory module connector and lifting the memory module off the
controller.
NOTE:
Do not exert excessive pressure on the connector on the memory
module while removing the memory module.
NOTE:
The location of the PERC x/i Integrated controller varies from system
to system. See the Hardware Owner’s Manual included with the system for
specific information on where the PERC x/i Integrated controller is located.
