Text from the audio portion of the DIMM installation movie

To install a DIMM:

  1. Ensure that the retention latches are in the open position.
  2. Insert the DIMM straight into the slot, pressing down on both corners at the same time until secured by the latches.
  3. Use the same procedure to install any additional DIMMs if required.
  4. Install the Air Baffle
    1. Place the air baffle into the server using the positioning pins on the air baffle and the locating holes in the server and fan-cage assembly for alignment, and then press down until latched in place.
    2. Press the locking tab to release the power supply cage and then rotate the cage into the server and lower the handle.
      Here is a closer look at a positioning pin on the baffle and a hole in the fan cage assembly.
      Note: use care to ensure that the power cables are routed so they are not pinched when closing the cage.
      Improper routing, as shown, here will cause damage to the cables.
  5. Return the server to its normal operating position.
  6. Install the Hot-swap Power Supplies:
    1. Slide the Power Supply into the bay until secured by the latch.
    2. Use the same procedure to install the second power supply if required.
    3. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
  7. Install the side Cover:
    1. Position the channel on the cover over the rail on the bottom edge of the chassis.
    2. Rotate the cover toward the chassis and then press down on the cover release latch and close the cover.
    3. Lock the side cover if required.
