Lenovo THINKSERVER TD230 - Manual (Page 42)

This section provides instructions on how to remove a memory module.
To remove a memory module, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 23.
3. Locate the memory slot with the memory module that you want to remove. See “Locating parts on the
system board” on page 15 for the locations of the memory slots.
4. Carefully open the retaining clips on each end of the memory slot and then grasp the memory module
straight up by its edges.

packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
What to do next:
• To work with another piece of hardware, go to the appropriate section.
• To complete the removal procedure, go to “Completing the parts replacement” on page 90.
Removing or installing internal drives
This section provides instructions on how to remove or install internal drives for the server. See “Features
and specifications” on page 5 for information about the types of internal drives that the server supports and
see “Locating server components” on page 14 for the locations of the drive bays in the server.
When installing an internal drive, be sure to consider the following information:
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment specified in the documentation that came
with the drive.
• Note the type and size of the drive and select the appropriate drive bay to install the drive.
• Check the instructions that came with the drive to see whether you have to set any switches or jumpers
on the drive. If you are installing a SAS device, be sure to set the SAS ID for that device.
• The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays and PCI card slots
covered or occupied. When you install a drive or a PCI card, save the EMC shield or filler panel from the
drive bay or save the PCI card slot cover in the event that you later remove the device. An unoccupied
drive bay or PCI card slot without cover, shield, filler, or any other protection might impact the EMI
integrity and cooling of the server, which might result in overheating or component damage.
