Always hold DIMMs by the side edges only.

Avoid touching the connectors on the bottom of the DIMM.

Never wrap your fingers around a DIMM.

Never bend or flex the DIMM.

When installing a DIMM, observe the following guidelines:

Before seating the DIMM, align the DIMM with the slot.

To align and seat the DIMM, use two fingers to hold the DIMM along the side edges.

To seat the DIMM, use two fingers to apply gentle pressure along the top of the DIMM.

SATA hard drive guidelines

When adding hard drives to the server, follow these general guidelines:

The system automatically sets all drive numbers.

If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest drive number.

Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are

grouped together in the same drive array.

NOTE:

Predictive failure alerts can occur only when the server is connected to a Smart Array

controller.
