FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

* The server must be fully shut down and the power cords disconnected.
* Do not operate the system with empty slots. Always insert a filler panel into an empty slot to reduce the possibility of system shut down.
* Take ESD Precautions.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Power off the server and remove the server module from the chassis

2. Remove the main cover

3. Press the fault indicator button on the motherboard to illuminate the LED for the DIMMs that have failed.

4. Locate the DIMM slot on the motherboard into which you plan to install or replace a DIMM.

The DIMM ejector levers contain LEDs that can indicate a faulty DIMM:

* DIMM ejector LED is off: DIMM is operating properly.
* DIMM ejector LED is on (amber): DIMM is faulty and should be replaced.

5. Before continuing with the next step, review this guidelines

DIMM Population Rules

*
o Each CPU can support a maximum of eight DDR2 DIMMs.
o Each pair of DIMMs must be identical (same manufacturer, size, and speed).
o The DIMM slots are paired and the DIMMs must be installed in pairs. The memory sockets are colored black or white to indicate which are paired by matching colors.
o Populate the DIMMs in the slots farthest from the CPU first. The first pair to be populated should be D0/D1, then D2/D3, and so on.

6. To remove a DIMM:

a. Rotate both DIMM slot ejectors outward as far as they will go. The DIMM is partially ejected from the socket.

b. Carefully lift the DIMM straight up to remove it from the socket.

7. To install a DIMM:

a. Ensure that the DIMM slot ejectors at each end of the memory socket are fully open (rotated outward) to accept the new DIMM.

b. Align the notch in the bottom edge of the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket.

c. Press down evenly on both top corners of the DIMM until the ejectors snap over the cutouts in the left and right edges of the DIMM.
