Moving the DIMMs

To move the DIMMs, locate and move them from the impaired controller into the replacement controller and follow the specific sequence of steps.

Move the DIMMs from the impaired controller module to the replacement controller module:


Important
Install each DIMM into the same slot it occupied in the impaired controller module.
  1. Slowly push apart the DIMM ejector tabs on either side of the DIMM, and slide the DIMM out of the slot.
    Attention
    Hold the DIMM by the edges to avoid pressure on the components on the DIMM circuit board.
  2. Locate the corresponding DIMM slot on the replacement controller module.
  3. Make sure that the DIMM ejector tabs on the DIMM socket are in the open position, and then insert the DIMM squarely into the socket.
    The DIMMs fit tightly in the socket. If not, reinsert the DIMM to realign it with the socket.
  4. Visually inspect the DIMM to verify that it is evenly aligned and fully inserted into the socket.
  5. Repeat these substeps for the remaining DIMM.
