Removing The Memory Module - Mitsubishi Electric FT5000 Handbook

M a i n b o a r d
BIOS automatically detects, sizes, and initialises the memory array, depending on the type, size,
and speed of the installed DIMMs, and reports memory size and allocation to the system via
configuration registers.
In a 4 GB configuration, a small part of memory (typically 32 MB) is not remapped above 4 GB.
If your OS does not support more than 4 GB of physical memory, this small part of the memory is
effectively lost.

DIMM sizes and compatibility: only use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the
memory board. Contact your Mitsubishi Electric dealership for a list of approved DIMMs. The

Removing the memory module

N N O O T T E E
Make sure you run the SSU to configure ECC memory. Failure to do so might degrade the
performance of the server.
1. Read through the instructions on page 4 of this chapter.
2. Remove the access cover, for detailed instructions see Chapter 2.
3. Remove the rear foam cover over the electronics bay. It might be easier to do this if you also
remove the front foam cover over the front subchassis.
4. Remove the memory module from the baseboard:

Pull the module toward you slightly to disengage it from the baseboard connector.
Slide the module straight away from the baseboard until it clears the guide rails.
Place the module component-side up on a nonconductive, static-free surface.
