PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Faulty DIMM

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

Then power down the system and disconnect the Power Cord.

Important Note:

Memory DIMMs must be replaced in pairs, and the pair must be the same size and from the same manufacturer. At least 1 pair must be present and functioning for the system to boot.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Powering off the system.
2. Remove the top cover.
3. Identify the CPU/Memory module to be removed.
4. Loosen the two captive Phillips screws securing the CPU/Memory module to the CPU cage.
5. Rotate the CPU/Memory module ejector levers upward so that the CPU/Memory module connectors
disengage from the CPU cage.
6. Pull the CPU/Memory module from the chassis by the levers and place it on an antistatic mat.
7. Remove the air baffle from the CPU/Memory module.
8. Identify the DIMM to be removed.
9. Push down on the ejector levers on each side of the DIMM simultaneously until the DIM ejects from
its socket.
10.Grasp the top corners of the DIMM and pull it up and out of its socket.
11.Place the DIMM on an antistatic mat.
12.Holding the bottom edge of the new DIMM parallel to its socket, carefully align the DIMM so that each of
its contacts is centered on a socket pin.
13.Push firmly and evenly on both ends of the DIMM until its bottom edge is firmly seated in the socket.
14.Slide the CPU/Memory module into the guides in the CPU cage.
15.Push down on both ejector levers, simultaneously until the levers are completely pressed into their slots.
16.Tighten the two captive screws that secure the CPU/Memory module to the CPU cage.
17.Install the top cover.
18.Powering on the system
