Caution: The O2+ workstation uses DIMMs (Double Inline Memory Modules). DIMMs

!

32 007-4486-001

are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Handle the modules carefully, and wear the wrist strap while installing them.

Note: The illustrations show an O2+ RM7000class workstation. The process of installing and removing memory modules is the same for the O2+ R12000class workstation. Also note that DIMMs cannot be installed on earlier workstations that used SIMMs.

Installing Memory Modules

To install memory modules, follow these steps:

1. If you have not already done so, remove the power cable, and remove the system

module from the chassis. See “Removing the System Module.”

2. Components on the system module are extremely sensitive to static electricity.

Before touching any of the components, ground yourself to a metal part of the chassis, as follows:

• Unwrap the ﬁrst two folds of the wrist strap and wrap the exposed adhesive side ﬁrmly around your wrist.

• Unroll the rest of the strap and peel the liner from the copper foil at the opposite end.

• Attach the copper foil to the PCI tray. Attach the wrist strap to your wrist and to the PCI tray (Figure 2-6).

Figure 2-6 Attaching the Wrist Strap

3. Familiarize yourself with the memory (DIMM) banks (Figure 2-7) and (Figure 2-8). There are four banks comprised of eight sockets, numbered 1 through 8. Two sockets form a bank.

The minimum conﬁguration has 256 MB of memory—one 128-MB module installed in slot 1 and one 128-MB module installed in slot 2.

Banks

3 2 1

Figure 2-8 Top View of the DIMM Banks

4. Read the following guidelines and then proceed to the next step.

• Slots 1 and 2 must always be populated.

• High-density DIMMs must always be installed in the lowest slots, that is, slots 1 and 2.

34 007-4486-001

Installing Memory Modules

• Install the DIMMs in groups of two, with DIMMs of the same capacity in each

bank of two. You cannot mix capacities in one bank.

• In a bank of two slots, both slots must have a DIMM or both slots must be

empty (except for slots 1 and 2, which must always be populated). For example, you can install a 128-MB module in slot 3, a 128-MB module in slot 4, a 64-MB module in slot 5 and a 64-MB module in slot 6. But you cannot install a 128-MB module in slot 3 and a 64-MB module in slot 4.

Note: If you need to remove a DIMM, see “Removing Memory Modules.”

5. Install the DIMMs consecutively in groups of two, beginning with the lowest open slot (Figure 2-9), as follows:

• Hold the DIMM over the socket without tilting it.

• Lower the DIMM, pushing it straight down into the socket gently but ﬁrmly.

You hear a click as it is seated and the latches on each side of the module snap up.

Figure 2-9 Installing the Memory Modules

6. Check the DIMMs visually to make sure they are installed correctly (Figure 2-10), as follows:

• The tops of the DIMMs of the same capacity should be even.

007-4486-001 35

Chapter 2: Installing or Removing Memory and Option Boards

• The DIMMs should all be absolutely vertical (no leaning).

• The latches on the sides should ﬁt snugly against each DIMM.

Figure 2-10 Checking the DIMM Installation

7. Remove the wrist strap and follow the steps in “Reinstalling the System Module.”

Removing Memory Modules

To remove memory modules, follow these steps:
