8. Repeat steps 3-7 to install SDRAM DIMMs in the DIMM slot sequence
listed in Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3 until you have installed all SDRAM
DIMMs for your memory configuration.
Removing a 128 MB SDRAM DIMM Module
You may need to remove a 128 MB SDRAM DIMM module to downsize your
memory configuration or to replace a defective DIMM. Always downsize memory
to the next lower memory configuration listed in Figure 5-2 or Figure 5-3.
Memory modules are installed in specific DIMM slots for each memory
configuration. You must remove SDRAM DIMMs so that the remaining memory
is installed in the correct DIMM slots.
Follow these steps to remove 128 MB SDRAM DIMMs from the 4 GB memory
board:
1. Power down the HP NetServer. See Chapter 2 for details.
2. Remove the lower fan module and rear access panel. See Chapter 3 for
details.
3. Remove the memory board. Lay the memory board, component side up, on
a firm anti-static surface.
4. Note the number of SDRAM DIMMs installed and their slot numbers.
Find the downsized memory configuration in Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3
and note the number and slot locations for that configuration.
5. Open the retaining clips just enough so that you can lift the top edge of
the DIMM away from the clips.
6. Lift the DIMM completely away from the socket.
7. Place the DIMM in its anti-static container.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for as many SDRAM DIMMs as you need to remove.
9. If necessary, remove SDRAM DIMMs and reinstall in new slots to match
the DIMM slot configuration for the downsized memory. See Figure 5-2.
CAUTION Close all retaining clips on the 4 GB memory board before
inserting it into your NetServer. This includes clips on empty
slots as well as those on slots containing DIMMs. This
facilitates insertion of the memory board.
10. Install the memory board in the satellite chassis (See Installing the 4 GB
Memory Board).
