Technologies for the ProLiant ML570 G4 and ProLiant DL580 G4 servers

The memory modules in the ML580 G4 use the same intuitive locking mechanism as the ML570 G4 to
prevent a user from inserting or removing a memory board when it is in the hot, or active, state
(Figure 16).
Figure 16. Memory modules have a simple locking mechanism that shows whether the memory board can be
removed.

The four processors are all housed in a processor cage that is accessible from the front. This
eliminates the need to remove the server from the rack to replace or install a processor. The processor
cage uses a unique “double-locking” latch mechanism: Administrators use the blue touchpoint latch to
remove the processor cage from the server chassis and then use this same blue touchpoint latch to
open the top sheet metal cover to the processor cage (Figure 17).
