How to Install HPE SmartMemory 32GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

• Power down the server completely and unplug the power cords. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling components.
• Identify the appropriate memory slot or memory cage in the server according to the system maintenance manual. Ensure the server is upright and accessible in a clean, static-free environment.
• If upgrading, remove any existing memory modules following the vendor’s instructions, releasing latches and carefully lifting the module out of the slot without bending pins.
• Align the new 32GB DDR4 DIMM with the slot notch and insert it firmly, applying even pressure until the latches click into place and securely hold the module.
• Repeat as needed for additional modules or to complete a bank configuration, ensuring proper seating and interleaving as required by the server’s memory architecture.
• Reconnect power and boot the system. Enter the system BIOS/UEFI or memory diagnostic tool to verify recognition of the new memory and to confirm system stability.
• Run a memory test or health check to validate proper operation, then monitor the server during normal workload to ensure performance improvements and stability under typical conditions.
