Memory Installation Notes
1. Install the first DIMMs in Blue slots D0, D4, D8, and D12.
2. Install the second DIMMs in White slots D2, D6, D10, and D14.
3. Install the third DIMMs in Black slots D1, D5, D9, and D13.
4. Install the fourth DIMMs in Green slots D3, D7, D11, and D15.
How to Remove a DIMM
1. Prepare the server for service, shutdown OS and power off server.
2. Remove the CMOD from the server.
3. Set the module on a flat antistatic surface with ample surrounding space and light.
4. Remove the CMOD cover.
5. Press the "DIMM FAULT REMIND BUTTON". This should turn on the slot LED for the faulty DIMM.
6. To unlock the DIMM, simultaneously rotate the two release levers outward fully away from the DIMM.
This action unlocks and ejects the DIMM from the DIMM slot.
7. Remove the DIMM from the server.
How to Install a DIMM
1. Ensure that the DIMM slot locking levers are in the fully open position.
2. Align the DIMM within the slot.
The DIMM is notched to accommodate the key (protrusion) in the slot. The key ensures correct DIMM installation. The DIMM can only be correctly installed one way.
3. To install the DIMM, simultaneously press down on both ends of the DIMM to push the it into the slot.
This action causes the DIMM locking levers to lift and lock into place on the DIMM.
4. Verify that the DIMM is properly installed and locked.
When properly locked in place, the DIMM cannot be removed.
5. Install the CMOD cover.
6. Install the CMOD into the server.
7. Prepare server for operation, power on server and start OS.
How to verify the DIMM working properly
Log in to the ILOM CLI.
Enter the following command to check status in normal status:
-> show /SYS/BLx/Px/Dx
note: the "x" represents which BLade/CPU/DIMM number of the DIMM replaced
Example:
-> show /SYS/BL0/P0/D0
/SYS/BL0/P0/D0
Properties:
type = DIMM
ipmi_name = BL0/P0/D0
fru_name = 2GB DDR3 SDRAM 666
fru_manufacturer = SAMSUNG
fru_part_number = M393B5673FH0-CH9
fru_serial_number = 0603D116
fault_state = OK
clear_fault_action = (none)
/SYS/BL0/P0/D0/SERVICE
Properties:
type = Indicator
ipmi_name = BL0/P0/D0/SVC
value = Off
Use the following command to clear the fault for a specific component:
For example:
-> set /SYS/BL0/P0/D0 clear_fault_action=true
Check if any error output from event log
Example
-> show /SP/logs/event/list
Check if any fault parts existed
-> show /SP/faultmgmt
Example
-> cd /SP/faultmgmt
Properties:
-> show faulty
Target | Property | Value
