How to Install Supermicro 16GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

• Power down the server, unplug the power cord, and disconnect any peripherals. Ground yourself to discharge static electricity before touching internal components.
• Open the server chassis according to the manufacturer’s guidance and locate the DIMM slots. Refer to your motherboard or chassis manual to identify the correct slots for memory population and to confirm supported configurations.
• Handle the memory module by the edges, avoiding contact with the gold contacts. Do not bend or force the module; improper handling can cause damage.
• Align the notch on the memory module with the keys in the DIMM slot, insert gently at a slight angle, and then press straight down until the module seats firmly. The side latches should snap into place automatically to secure the module.
• Repeat as needed for additional modules, ensuring proper color-coding or population order per your server’s memory topology. Close the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter BIOS/UEFI to verify the new memory is detected with the correct capacity and speed, and adjust memory settings if required following vendor guidelines.
