Installing Blade Components

6 Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment key on the

memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.

NOTE:

The memory module socket has an alignment key that allows you to

install the memory module in the socket in only one way.

7 Press down on the memory module with your thumbs to lock the memory

module into the socket.
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on

the memory module socket align with the ejectors on the other sockets

that have memory modules installed.

8 Repeat step 5 through step 7 of this procedure to install the remaining

memory modules. See Table 3-14, Table 3-11, or Table 3-12 for sample

memory configurations.

9 PowerEdge M910 and M905 systems only - If you removed the system board

to access the memory modules, reinstall the system board.

10 Close the blade. See "Closing the Blade" on page 161.
11 Install the blade. See "Installing a Blade" on page 158.
12 (Optional) Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check the

System Memory setting on the main System Setup screen.
The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly

installed memory.

13 If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be

installed properly. Check to ensure that the memory modules are firmly

seated in their sockets.

14 Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running

System Diagnostics" on page 325.
