Hot Removal of a Memory Board

 NOTE

If you remove a Memory Board from your server, you must either replace it with a replacement

Memory Board or you must install a Memory Board air baffle.

If the Memory Board is installed in a system that is powered on, the following steps are required to

ensure proper hot removal so that the system will not crash:

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

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

3. Press the attention button on the Memory Board. The power LED will begin to flash.

4. After the Hot Plug Attention LED stops flashing and turns off, make sure the Power LED for

the Memory Board is also off.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to remove any Memory Board while any of the LEDs are either on or blinking. If the

attention LEDs do not turn off, your configuration may not support hot-plug Memory Board activity.

For instructions on non-hot-plug Memory Board maintenance, see “Cold Removal of Memory Board”

and “Cold Insertion of a Memory Board”.

5. Once all the board LEDs are off, press the latch on the handle and lift the Memory Board

handle.

6. Pull up on the Memory Board handle to lift the Memory Board from the server.

7. Install DIMMs, then reinstall the Memory Board, or install a Memory Board air baffle:

- For instructions to install DIMMs, see “Installing and Removing DIMMs”.

- For instructions to install the Memory Board air baffle, see “Hot Insertion of a Memory

Board”.

 NOTE

If you fail to follow the proper Hot Plug Remove process you must unlock the memory module by

unlatching the handle. By pulling the handle, power to the slot will be immediately disabled. The

“surprise hot remove” action may cause the operating system to crash, but will not electrically

damage the system.
