Removing a Hot-plug Memory Board
Ê
Remove the system cover (see
“Opening/Closing the Casing” on page 98
).
Figure 28: Preparing a memory board for removal
Ê
Check the green mirroring (1) or RAID (2) indicator on the memory board.
I
If none of both indicators is lighting:
Ê
Shut down the server and remove the memory board in powerless
condition.
Ê
Press the white attention button (4) on the memory board you want to
remove.
The attention LED (3) is flashing: BIOS is preparing the memory board for
removal.
Ê
Wait until the attention LED (3) and additionally the green power LED (5)
are OFF.
The memory board is now ready for removal.
I
If the attention LED (3) does not stop flashing, the memory board in
question may not be removed. Either the configuration is not
redundant (memory mirroring or memory RAID is not set in BIOS), or
the configuration has lost its redundancy, e.g. because only three of
four originally intact memory boards are still available in a RAID
configuration.
Ê
Shut down the server and remove the memory board in powerless
condition.
