Replacing a memory riser in the 9040-MR9 system

To replace a memory riser in the system, complete the steps in this procedure.

1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Replace the memory modules into the new memory riser:
   1. Use the slot information that you recorded to determine the slot location to place the memory module.
   2. Grasp the new memory module along its edges and align it with the slot.
      Memory modules are keyed to prevent a memory module from being installed incorrectly. Note the location of the key tab within the memory module connector before you attempt to install the memory module.
   3. Ensure that the locking tabs of the memory module are open. Slowly press the memory module straight down, firmly into the slot, until the locking tabs lock into place.
   4. Repeat steps 2.a through 2.c for all of the memory modules that reside on the memory riser you're replacing.

      

3. To insert the memory riser, complete the following steps:
   1. Ensure the release latches (A) are fully open to a 90 degree angle as shown in the following figure.
   2. Align the memory riser with the connector.
   3. Press the memory riser firmly into the connector.
   4. Rotate the release latches into the closed position, and press the release latches down to ensure that the memory riser is fully seated into the connector.
