Installing FBDIMMs
1. Power down the server (on page 18).
2. Extend the server from the rack (on page 19).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 20).
4. Open the FBDIMM slot latches.
5. Install the FBDIMM.
6. Install the access panel (on page 20).
7. Slide the server into the rack.
8. If you are installing FBDIMMs in an online spare or mirrored configuration, use RBSU ("HP ROM-
Based Setup Utility" on page 68) to configure this feature.
Hot-plug SAS and SATA hard drive options
When adding hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest device number ("SAS and SATA
device numbers" on page 15).
