Push the IDSDM/vFlash card until it is firmly seated on the system board.
Installing Expansion cards and expansion card risers:
Pull the expansion card latch.
If installed, remove the filler bracket.
NOTE:Store the filler bracket for future use. Filler brackets must be installed in empty expansion card slots to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
Hold the card by its edges, and align the card edge connector with the expansion card connector on the riser.
Insert the card edge connector firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully seated.
Push the expansion card latch.
Installing a processor and heat sink module:
Align the pin 1 indicator of the heat sink to the system board and then place the processor and heat sink module (PHM) on the processor socket.
CAUTION:To avoid damaging the fins on the heat sink, do not press down on the heat sink fins.
NOTE:Ensure that the PHM is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.
Push the blue retention clips inward to allow the heat sink to drop into place.
Using the Torx #T30 screwdriver, tighten the screws on the heat sink in the order below:

NOTE:The processor and heat sink module retention screws should not be tightened to more than 0.13 kgf-m (1.35 N.m or 12 in-lbf).
Installing a memory module:
Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the card edges, ensuring not to touch the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module or the memory module socket during installation, do not bend or flex the memory module. You must insert both ends of the memory module simultaneously.
Open the ejectors on the memory module socket outward to allow the memory module to be inserted into the socket.
Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.
CAUTION:Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at both ends of the memory module evenly.
NOTE:The memory module socket has an alignment key that enables you to install the memory module in the socket in only one orientation.
Press the memory module with your thumbs until the socket levers firmly click into place.

NOTE:Ensure that the cables inside the system are routed along the chassis wall and secured using the cable securing bracket.
Install the system cover:
Align the tabs on the system cover with the guide slots on the system.
Push the system cover latch down.
The system cover slides forward, the tabs on the system cover engage with the guide slots on the system and the system cover latch locks into place.
Using a 1/4 inch flat head or Phillips #2 screwdriver, rotate the latch release lock clockwise to the locked position.
If applicable, install the system into the rack.
