How to install HPE SmartMemory 8GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module
- Power down the server and unplug the power cords. Ensure you follow your data center’s safety and anti-static procedures.
- Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge before handling memory components.
- Open the server access cover to reveal the memory slots and existing DIMMs. Identify an available DIMM slot compatible with your current memory topology.
- If replacing an existing module, carefully release the retaining clips and remove the old DIMM by pulling it straight out with gentle even pressure.
- Align the HPE 8GB DDR4 module with the slot’s notch. The notch orientation must match the slot to avoid bent pins or incorrect seating.
- Insert the module firmly and evenly until the retaining clips snap into place. Ensure the module is fully seated and secured by the side clips.
- If your server supports memory interleaving or specific topology optimizations, allow the system firmware to configure the topology automatically upon boot.
- Replace the access cover, reconnect power, and power on the server. Enter the system BIOS/UEFI or the operating system to verify that the new memory is detected and properly configured.
- Run a memory diagnostic or a baseline workload test to confirm stability and performance with the new module installed.
