Installing the memory module

To install a DIMM:

1. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector.
2. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.
3. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the slots at the ends of the DIMM connector.
4. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.
5. Install the air baffle:
   1. Align the air baffle with the slots on the chassis. Then, lower the air baffle into the server.

   2. Slide the cover toward the front of the server.
   3. Make sure that the cover correctly engages all of the inset tabs on the server.
7. Reconnect the external cables and power cords.
