MEMORY OPTION INSTALLATION CARD

This document provides a quick reference guide for installing the FR-PCSMA-xx memory option in DIGITAL Server 5300 and 7300/7300R systems.

Safety Precautions:

• Allow 2 minutes after power removal before touching hot memory or CPU modules.
• Always wear an antistatic wrist strap.
• When installing DIMMs, hold the memory card by its outer edges; avoid laying it flat to prevent damage.

General Overview: The installation process involves exposing the system board/drawer, installing the memory option, and verifying the installation.

DIGITAL Server 5300 Installation:

1. Shut down the operating system and power off the system.
2. Remove the top cover and left side panel to expose the system board.
3. Unscrew the module handle and gently pull out the memory card.
4. While holding the new memory card, align the DIMM(s) in the connector(s) and press down until the connector levers close. Repeat for each riser card/DIMM.
5. Screw in the module handle and gently push the memory card back into its slot.
6. Verify the installation by starting AlphaBIOS Setup, selecting "Display System Configuration," and then "MC Bus Configuration" to view the new memory option's status.

DIGITAL Server 7300/7300R Installation:

1. Expose the System Drawer:
   • Pedestal: Shut down and power off. Open and remove the front door, then remove the top cover (two Phillips head screws, tilt, and lift off).
   • H9A10-EN/EP Cabinet: (Requires qualified personnel) Open the front door, pull out the stabilizer bar, extend the leveler foot, unplug power supplies, and slide the drawer out until it locks.
2. Install Memory Option:
   • Remove the cover from the system card cage section (two Phillips head screws, slide off).
   • Determine the correct slot locations, inserting the largest memory first (e.g., slots 0 Low/High, then 1 Low/High, etc.).
   • Insert each module into its slot and tighten the flathead captive screw on the top brace.
3. Verify Installation:
   • Replace the system bus card cage cover. Press the HALT button to "IN" and power up the system, ensuring power-up diagnostics pass.
   • From the SRM console, issue the show memory and test memn (where 'n' is the memory pair or '*' for all) commands.
   • Alternatively, use AlphaBIOS Setup: select "Display System Configuration," then "MC Bus Configuration" to check the new memory option's status.
