Installing system board memorymodules

The ImagePRESS CR Server A7000 comes with Dual In-lineMemory Modules (DIMMs) that are installed on the system boardin DIMM bank #1A (blue) and DIMM bank #1B (blue).

Follow the instructions in Installing a DIMM to install the newmemory modules in DIMM bank #2A and DIMM bank #2B.

Note: Removing or installing DIMMs may change the configurationinformation in the server. Therefore, after removing or installing a DIMM,save the new configuration information by using the BIOS setup utilityprogram. When you restart the server, the system displays a messageindicating that the memory configuration has changed.

Figure 1: DIMM module locations

Preparing to install a DIMMImportant: When you handle electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitivedevices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity.

1. Before you start to remove a DIMM, review the safetyprecautions.

2. Turn off the imagePRESS CR Server A7000 and all peripheraldevices. Disconnect all external cables and power cords.

3. Confirm that the memory module in the kit has the same Creopart number (609-00533) as that already installed in theimagePRESS CR Server A7000.

4. Remove the side cover.

Installing a DIMM1. Touch the antistatic package containing the new DIMM to any

unpainted metal surface on the server, and then remove theDIMM from the package.

2. Verify that the DIMM connector retaining clips are open.

3. Orient the memory so that the pins align correctly with theconnector.


4. Insert the DIMM into the connector and, by pressing on theedges of the DIMM, one at a time, allow it to click into place inthe slot . Ensure that you press the DIMM vertically into theslot

Figure 2: Installing a DIMM

5. Verify that the retaining clips are in the closed position. If agap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, theDIMM has not been properly installed. In this case, open theretaining clips, remove the DIMM, and repeat the previousstep.

6. If you have other options to remove or replace, do so now.

7. Return the side cover.

8. Reconnect all external cables and power cords, and turn onthe server.
