Removing a memory module
This topic provides instructions about how to remove a memory module.
About this task
To remove a dual inline memory module (DIMM), complete the following steps:
Note:
You can press the
light path button
on the compute book to light the LEDs
on the board when the compute book has been removed from the server. Any
LEDs that were light before thecompute book was removed from the server will be
lit when the light path button is pressed.
Procedure
1.
Read the safety information and installation guidelines, see “Safety” on page vii
and “Installation guidelines” on page 45.
2.
Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 41) and all attached
peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external
cables as necessary to replace the device.
3.
Remove the DDR3 compute book (see “Removing a DDR3 compute book” on
page 283).
4.
Remove the cover on the side of the DDR3 compute book where the failed
DIMM is located. Press down on the two blue touch points and slide the cover
toward the rear of the compute book; then, set it aside.
Attention:
Remove only one cover (on one side) at a time to protect the
compute book components on the other side of the compute book from being
damaged.
5.
Carefully open the retaining clips on each end of the DIMM connector and
remove the DIMM.
Attention:
To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
