CAP PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Replacing Memory DIMM

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED: General HW Service Skills

DELIVERY REQUIREMENT:
Immediate

Estimate AP Duration = 0.5 hours

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

Then power down the system and disconnect the Power Cord.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Power off the server.
Remove the cable management arm.
Remove the system controller.
Remove the CMA.
Unscrew the captive screw on the system controller handle.
Pull the system controller out of the chassis.
Use the handle to pull the system controller from the chassis with one hand while supporting the system controller weight with the other hand.
Loosen the two captive screws (with plastic green caps) under the system controller handle.
Remove the system controller cover.
Push the system controller cover toward the rear and lift it off the chassis.

Locate the DIMM slot on the CPU board on which you want to install or replace a DIMM.
The DIMM fault LEDs in the DIMM slot ejector levers indicate which DIMM has failed. These DIMM fault LEDs can be lit for up to one minute by a capacitor on the CPU board. To light the fault LED from the capacitor, push the small blue button on the CPU board, labeled “Press to see fault.”
One end of the DIMM ejector levers contain LEDs that can indicate a faulty DIMM:
- DIMM fault LED is off: The DIMM is operating properly.
- DIMM fault LED is on (amber): The DIMM is faulty and must be replaced.

Removing Memory Modules (DIMMs)

Rotate both DIMM slot ejectors outward as far as they will go. The DIMM is partially ejected from the socket.
Carefully lift the DIMM straight up to remove it from the socket.

Install Memory Modules (DIMMs)

Ensure that the DIMM slot ejectors at each end of the memory socket are fully open (rotated outward) to accept the new DIMM.
Align the notch in the bottom edge of the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket.
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.
Replace the cable management assembly if necessary.
