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

The server has to be powered off. Please do this procedure before changing the Memory module.

Caution - Do not operate the system with empty slots. Always insert a filler panel into an empty slot to reduce the possibility of system shut down.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

* Power off the server and remove the server module from the chassis.
* Remove the main cover.
* Press the fault indicator button on the motherboard to illuminate the LED for the DIMMs that have failed.
* Check the led status for the following:
- DIMM ejector LED is off: DIMM is operating properly.
- DIMM ejector LED is on (amber): DIMM is faulty and should be replaced.
* To remove a DIMM:
- Rotate both DIMM slot ejectors outward as far as they will go. The DIMM is partially ejected from the socket.
- Carefully lift the DIMM straight up to remove it from the socket.
* 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.
- Press down evenly on both top corners of the DIMM until the ejectors snap over the cutouts in the left and right edges of the DIMM.
* Put back the cover and return the server back to operational.
