MEMORY INSTALLATION

Note: Refer to your system owner’s manual for detailed instructions.






1.

Remove the CPU/Memory Card from the system and place it on an
antistatic, flat surface. If you are not immediately replacing the
CPU/Memory Card, install a CPU air baffle into its slot next to the CPU
fan trays.


2.

Remove the plastic cover on the CPU/Memory Card.


3.

If you need to remove existing memory (to replace with higher density
modules for example), do that now by pressing down on the ejection
levers on both sides of module slots. Carefully pull the modules straight
out of the slots and set them down on an antistatic mat.

4.

Locate the four DIMM slots in the bank you wish to populate. The system
requires bank A0 and B0 to be populated at a minimum.


5.

Open both ejector levers on each slot.

MEMORY INSTALLATION

6.

Position a module over the slot so that the alignment notches on the
DIMM match the notches on the connector.


7.

Press firmly on both top ends of the module, applying equal pressure
until the module snaps into place. Lock the module in the socket by
pushing up on the ejector levers until they are in their upright position.




Caution: System parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge and can be

damaged by the static charge you may carry. You should wear a
grounded wrist strap, if you have one.

Caution: Confirm the modules are fully and evenly seated in the slots.

Improper seating can cause electrical shorts that can damage
the memory and/or the system.



8.

Continue to install the remaining memory modules until you have filled
the bank with four identical modules. Repeat the above steps for each
bank of memory you wish to install.


9.

Reinstall the plastic cover on the CPU/Memory Card.

10. Remove the CPU air baffle from its slot next to the CPU fan trays and

reinstall the CPU/Memory Card.


11. You must perform a reconfiguration boot in order for the O.S. to

recognize the new memory configuration.
