The HP bc2100 ATCA Server Blade Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs) are always installed in pairs.

Each individual DIMM within a pair must be identical in storage capacity, revision, and part number to the

other DIMM in the pair. The current DIMM configurations supported by Hewlett-Packard include any of the

following:

• Two 1-GB DIMMs (2 GB)

• Four 1-GB DIMMs (4 GB)

• Two 2-GB DIMMs (4 GB)

• Four 2-GB DIMMs (8 GB)

This section provides information on removing and replacing the DIMMs in the HP bc2100 ATCA Server

Blade.

Removing the DIMMs

To remove mounted DIMMs from the Server Blade, complete the following steps:

CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions while completing this procedure. Failure to follow ESD

safety precautions could result in damage to the 14-Slot Shelf and equipment.

1. Following hot-swap procedures, remove the HP bc2100 ATCA Server Blade from the 14-Slot Shelf.

2. Lay the Server Blade flat on an anti-static working surface and position the blade’s front panel facing you.

Ensure that the blade backplane connector (blue color) is facing away from you, and is on right side of the

blade as it lays flat (Figure 1-24).
