## Increase Memory With Additional DIMMs

1. Consider your first steps:

   - Familiarize yourself with DIMM configuration rules.

     See DIMM Population Rules (Except 1536-Gbyte Configurations)

   - Prepare the system for service.

     See Preparing for Service.

   - Remove the processor module. Place the processor module on an ESD-protected work surface. Remove the processor module cover.

     See Servicing Processor Modules.

2. Unpack the new DIMMs and place them on an antistatic mat.
3. At a DIMM slot that is to be upgraded, open the ejector tabs and remove the filler panel.

   Do not dispose of the filler panel. You may want to reuse it if any DIMMs are removed at another time.

4. Ensure that the ejector tabs on the connector that will receive the DIMM are in the open position.
5. Align the DIMM notch with the key in the connector.

   | Caution - Ensure that the orientation is correct. The DIMM might be damaged if the orientation is reversed.

6. Push the DIMM into the connector until the ejector tabs lock the DIMM in place.

   If the DIMM does not easily seat into the connector, check the DIMM's orientation.

7. Repeat Step 3 through Step 6 until all DIMMs are installed.
8. Finish the installation procedure.

   - Install the processor module.
