1. Observe the safety precautions, warnings, and cautions described in “Safety Information”.

2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.

3. Power down the system and unplug both AC power cords.

4. Remove the top cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Top Cover”.

5. Remove the Memory Board or Memory Board air baffle from Slot C. For instructions, see

“Cold Removal of Memory Board”.

6. Being careful not to touch the components or gold edge-connectors on the Fibre Channel

Module, remove the Module from the anti-static bag, and place it on a clean, ESD-protected

work surface.

7. Rotate the retention lever at the rear of the Fibre Channel Module slot into the up position.

8. If necessary, remove the expansion slot cover in the slot you are using by sliding it up from

Installing and Removing Memory Boards

Memory Boards can be configured in a redundant or a non-redundant configuration. Memory Boards

configured using RAID or mirroring are in a redundant configuration. If a Memory Board that is

configured in a redundant configuration has a memory DIMM or a Memory Board fault, the Memory

Board and / or DIMM containing the fault can be removed and replaced while the system is powered

on.

Memory Boards that are configured in a non-redundant configuration (including Memory Boards

configured with spare memory) must not be removed while the system is powered on.

The following hot plug memory options are available.

• Memory Hot Replace: While the system is in operation and configured with a RAID or

Mirroring configuration, you can replace a failed Memory Board. The replacement board must

include an identical memory capacity. The system will test, initialize, and rebuild the data on

the Memory Board and then include this board in the system memory configuration. The

activity is transparent to the operating system,

• Memory Hot Add: While the system is in operation and configured with a RAID or Mirroring

configuration, you can increase the memory capacity of the system while the operating system

is active. For RAID remove and add memory to one Memory Board at a time. Replace the

removed Memory Board before adding memory to another board. If your server is configured

in the Maximum Compatibility configuration, a new Memory Board can be added to an empty

slot. When the initialization is complete, the operating system is informed of the new memory.
