Installing HPE Persistent Memory modules

Use this procedure only for new HPE Persistent Memory module installations. If you are migrating this HPE Persistent Memory module from another server, see the HPE Persistent Memory User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (https://www.hpe.com/info/persistentmemory-docs).

Prerequisites
  • Before beginning the installation, review the memory population guidelines on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (https://www.hpe.com/docs/memory-population-rules).

  • Make sure that you have reviewed the System requirements for HPE Persistent Memory module support.

Procedure
  1. Observe the following alerts:
    CAUTION:

    DIMMs and HPE Persistent Memory modules are keyed for proper alignment. Align notches on the DIMM or HPE Persistent Memory module with the corresponding notches in the slot before installing the component. Do not force the DIMM or HPE Persistent Memory module into the slot. When installed properly, not all DIMMs or HPE Persistent Memory modules will face in the same direction.

    CAUTION:

    Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning this procedure.

    CAUTION:

    Failure to properly handle HPE Persistent Memory modules can damage the component and the system board connector.

    IMPORTANT:

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you implement best practice configurations for high availability (HA) such as clustered configurations.

  2. Power down the server.
  3. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
  4. Remove the server from the chassis.
  5. Remove the bayonet board.
  6. Remove the three-slot secondary riser cage.
  7. Open the DIMM slot latches.
  8. Install the HPE Persistent Memory module.
