Removing DIMMs
You may need to remove a DIMM module to downsize your memory
configuration or to replace a defective DIMM.
1. Log off all users, back up files, and power down the HP Netserver.
For detailed instructions, see "Powering-Down the HP Netserver," in
Chapter 1, "Controls, Ports and Indicators."
2. Pull out the anti-tip foot at the bottom of the rack. Then slowly slide the
HP Netserver chassis out from the rack as far as it can be extended.
It is not necessary to remove the HP Net Server from the rack to install
DIMMs.
3. Disconnect the power cables and all external cables.
If necessary, label each one to support re-assembly.
WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the HP Netserver until the power cable is disconnected.
4. Remove the top cover.
Refer to "Removing the Top Cover" in Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing
the HP Netserver."
5. Remove the air flow guide. See Figure 4-1.
Refer to "Removing the Air Flow Guide" in Chapter 2, "Opening and
Closing the HP Netserver."
6. Locate the DIMM slots on the system board. See Figure 4-2.
7. Open the retaining latches.
8. Lift the DIMM completely away from the slot.
9. Place the DIMM in its anti-static container.
10. Repeat Steps 6-9 for as many DIMMs as you need to remove.

installed, the screen displays an error message or appears blank
and sounds beep codes.
