DIMM installation procedure
To install a DIMM, complete the following steps:
1.
Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 23.
2.
Read the documentation that comes with the DIMMs.
3.
Locate the DIMM connectors (see “Blade server connectors - BladeCenter HX5”
on page 21). Determine the DIMM connector into which you will be installing
memory.
4.
If another memory module is already installed in the DIMM connector, remove
it (see “Removing a DIMM - BladeCenter HX5” on page 42).
5.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any
unpainted
metal surface on the BladeCenter unit or any
unpainted
metal surface on any
other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the
DIMM for at least 2 seconds; then, remove the DIMM from its package.
6.
To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you
install.
