Steps1. Locate the appropriate memory-module socket.2. Press the ejectors on the memory-module socket outward to allow the memory module to beinserted into the socket.CAUTION: Handle each memory module only on either card edge, making sure not to touchthe middle of the memory module.3. Align the edge connector on the memory module with the alignment key on the memory-modulesocket, and insert the memory module in the socket.NOTE: The memory-module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the memorymodule in the socket in only one orientation.CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory-module socket during installation, applypressure at both ends of the memory module evenly. Do not apply pressure to the center ofthe memory module.4. Press down on the memory module with your thumbs to lock the memory module into the socket.NOTE: When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on thememory-module socket align with the ejectors on the other sockets that have memorymodules installed.5. Repeat step 4 through step 7 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules.Next steps1. Follow the procedure listed in After working inside your system.2. (Optional) Press to enter the System Setup, and check the System Memory setting.The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly installed memory.NOTE: If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installedproperly. Check to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets.3. Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics.PCIe mezzanine cardsThe server module supports two x8 PCIe Gen 2 mezzanine cards. No other mezzanine cards, such asEthernet, Fibre Channel, or InfiniBand are supported on server modules configured for the PowerEdgeVRTX enclosure.The PCIe mezzanine cards provide an interface between server modules and the PCIe switches in theenclosure.NOTE: You cannot operate the system with a single PCIe mezzanine card. Two PCIe mezzaninecards are required per server module to support the PCIe expansion cards and PERC card-basedshared storage on the enclosure.NOTE: For proper operation, make sure that both PCIe mezzanine cards are set to Enabled in theSystem Setup.54
