Netfinity 7000 - Memory Board / Memory-Module Kits

Applicable to: World-Wide

Memory Board/Memory-Module Kits

Several examples of memory module configurations are:

The base memory is four 64 MB DIMMs. The DIMMs are installed in bank 0, connectors J2-J5. You want four 64 MB DIMMS, eight 128 MB DIMMs, and four 256 MB DIMMs in the server. Leave the 64 MB DIMMS in bank 0, connectors J2-J5 and install the 128 MB DIMMS in bank 1, connectors J6-J9 and bank 2 connectors J10-J13 and the 256 MB DIMMs in bank 3, connectors J14-J17.

1 Memory module (DIMM)
2 Retaining clip
3 Memory-module connector

To install the memory module:

1. Place the memory board, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
2. Locate the memory-module connectors on the memory board.
3. Touch the static-protective package containing the memory-module kit to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the memory-module kit from the package.
4. Install the kit:

Attention To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the memory-module connectors, handle the clips gently.

a. Start with the lowest-numbered connectors (bank 0).
b. Turn the memory module (DIMM) 1 so that the pins align correctly with the memory-board connector.
c. Insert the DIMM into the memory-module connector 3 by pressing on one end of the DIMM and then on the other end of the DIMM. Be sure to press straight into the connector.
d. Repeat the preceding step to make sure the DIMM is seated correctly.
e. Make sure the retaining clips are in the closed position.
f. If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips 2 , the DIMM has not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM.
g. Repeat these steps for each memory module that you install.

Note: To ensure proper server operation, you must install memory modules in groups of four. All the memory modules installed in a bank must be the same size, but different banks can have different sized memory modules installed.

5. Reinstall the memory board and board-support panel.

Attention When you install the memory board in the server, be sure that it is completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector before you apply power. (The latches on the boards will be horizontal.) Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the memory board.
