how to install Crucial 16GB DDR5 SDRAM Memory Module

• Power down the server completely and unplug from power. Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Open the server chassis and locate the memory slots. Identify the correct bank/slot configuration per your motherboard or server manual.
• Align the DDR5 memory module with the slot notch and carefully insert it at a slight angle, then press down firmly until the latches click into place on both sides.
• Repeat for additional modules if you are upgrading multiple slots, ensuring proper channel population as recommended by your server’s memory guidelines.
• Close the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify that the new memory is recognized and running at the correct speed. If needed, enable any memory profile or XMP/EDS settings required by your platform.
• Run a basic memory check or stress test to confirm stability under load, and monitor temperatures to ensure cooling is adequate in your environment.
