2. Power off the server and remove the server module from the chassis

3. Remove the main cover.

4. Press the fault remind button on the motherboard to illuminate the LED for the DIMMs that have failed.

5. Locate the DIMM slot on the motherboard to which you will install a DIMM.

6. To remove a DIMM:

* Rotate both DIMM slot ejectors outward as far as they will go.
* Carefully lift the DIMM straight up to remove it from the socket.

7. To install a DIMM:

* Ensure that the DIMM slot ejectors at each end of the memory socket are fully open (rotated outward) to accept the new DIMM.
* Align the notch in the bottom edge of the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket.

Always refer to the X6250 Server Module Service Manual 820-1185-XX at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19045-01/blade.x6250/  for the latest updated procedures and ESD protection standards.

Caution: When removing a server module, install a slot filler within one minute to avoid adjacent modules from overheating.

DIMM Population Rules

• The server module can support a maximum of 16 DDR2 DIMMs.

• Two DIMMs within each pair must be identical (same manufacturer, size, and speed).

• The DIMM slots are paired.  The DIMMs must be installed in pairs (0 and 1, 2 and 3, etc).  The slots for the first two pairs are white; all others are black.
