Note: When you install RDIMMs, you do not need to schedule any downtime because you remove only one compute module at a time.
Notice: If you require assistance while adding RDIMMs, your authorized Stratus service representative can provide onsite installation services for a fee.

To remove RDIMMs

  1. Remove the compute module whose RDIMMs you are upgrading.

To install RDIMMs

  1. Make sure you are installing the RDIMM in the correct slot. See Figure 4.

  2. With the RDIMM connector ejector levers in the open position (down), align the small slots on the base of the RDIMM with the notches at the base of the connector. Push the RDIMM down firmly into place. Make sure it is fully seated.

  3. Ensure that the connector's ejector levers are raised and fully locked into place. If they are not, eject and reseat the RDIMM.

  4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for any additional RDIMMs.

  5. After installing the RDIMMs, replace the compute module.
