Installing DIMMs
DIMMs are keyed and can be inserted in only one way.
Caution: Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too much pressure can
damage the socket. Mixing dissimilar metals might cause memory failures later,
resulting in data corruption. Install DIMMs with gold-plated edge connectors only in
gold-plated sockets.
Note: DIMM slots on the memory module must be installed only in certain
configurations. See the SGI 1400 Server Family User’s Guide if you are uncertain of the
configuration requirements. Use the following steps to install new DIMMs:
1. Holding the DIMM only by its edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
2. Orient the DIMM so that the two notches in the bottom edge of the DIMM align
with the keyed socket on the memory module.
3. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket, then press down firmly on the
DIMM until it seats correctly.
4. Gently push the plastic ejector levers on the socket ends to the upright position.
5. Repeat the steps to install each DIMM.
6. Reinstall the memory module.
7. Reinstall the foam cover(s).
8. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws.
9. Connect all external cables and the power cords to the system.
