Add-on/Spare DIMM Instructions
This document describes how to either add a additional DIMM
(Dual In-line Memory Module) to or remove and replace an existing DIMM from a SnapServer DX2 or SnapScale X2 node from Overland Storage.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to equipment, always remove any power cords while working with the unit.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique ou endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les cordons
électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.
CAUTION:
While working with the unit, observe standard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent damage to micro-circuitry or static-sensitive devices.
IMPORTANT: Using DIMMs that are not supplied by
Overland Storage will void your warranty. Overland
Storage DIMMs have been tested and verified to operate properly with Overland appliances. Failure to use qualified
DIMMs may impact data availably or lead to data loss.
Register the Add-on DIMM
NOTE: If you are only replacing an existing DIMM, skip to the next

Add-on/Spare DIMM Instructions
Prepare the Unit
Power Off and Disconnect
1.
Power off the unit/cluster :
• SnapServer : Press the Power button.
• SnapScale : There are two power-off options available.
• Shut off the entire cluster by using the Web
Management Interface (
Maintenance > Shutdown/
Restart > Shutdown
).
By shutting down the entire cluster, no peer sets will need to be rebuilt when it is reactivated.
However, the cluster will be offline and unavailable during the repairs. This option is recommended when all nodes are having memory added.
• Shut off just the affected node by briefly pressing the Power button on a node.
By shutting down only the node, the cluster remains online and active. However, some peer sets will be operating with either less (3x replication) or no (2x replication) redundancy while the node is down and afterwards when the peer sets are being rebuilt.
This option is recommended when only one node is having memory added.
2.
When all the LEDs are off, disconnect the power cords .
3.
Disconnect all the cables from the unit.
Remove the Front Bezel
Carefully take hold of the front bezel and pull it straight out from the appliance until the magnets release. Set it aside.
Remove the Drives
IMPORTANT: Overland recommends that you remove the disk drives to reduce the unit’s weight prior to removal. They must be replaced in the same bays when done.
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so voids the drive warranty.
Remove all the drive carriers, noting from which bay they were removed. Blank carriers can be left in place.
1.
Press the release button on the right side of the carrier.
2.
Using the built-in handle , pull the drive carrier out.
3.
Set the carrier on an secure surface.
4.
all the remaining drive carriers.

Add-on/Spare DIMM Instructions
Remove Unit from Rack
WARNING:
It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at least two people) be used during rack installation or removal to prevent injury.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Pour éviter toute blessure il est recommande qu'un monte-charge (ou deux personnes au moins) soit utilisé lors de l'installation ou de l'enlèvement du support.
1.
Release the two captive screws on the front flanges, and slide the chassis out until it stops.
2.
Position the lifter in front of the unit, release the rail locks , and slide the chassis out onto the lifter.
3.
Move the chassis onto a secure surface .
Remove Top Panel
1.
Remove and retain the four screws on the sides and two screws on the top securing the rear top panel.
2.
Slide the panel toward the rear about one-half inch
(1.25cm) and lift it off.
3.
Set the top panel on a safe surface.
Install DIMM
DIMM Configurations
DIMMs go into specific slots based on the motherboard used.
NOTE: Failure to add the DIMM to the next slot in the order may result in the unit not recognizing the extra memory.
Motherboards (type A) with blackblue blue blue DIMM slots come with a DIMM in slot 1. Additional DIMMs are added in the order shown (2, 3, and then 4).
Motherboards (type B) with blue -blackblue -black DIMM slots come with a DIMM in slot 1. Additional DIMMs are added in the order shown (2, 3, and then 4).
Install Additional DIMMs
NOTE: If you are only replacing an existing DIMM, skip to the next
1.
At the appropriate empty DIMM slot (refer to
), press both latches down.
2.
Align the DIMM in the slot, lining up the DIMM notch with the guide in the slot.
3.
Firmly press the DIMM down until the latches lock.

Add-on/Spare DIMM Instructions
Replace DIMMs
1.
Remove the old DIMM by pressing the latches on each end and popping the DIMM out.
Set the DIMM aside on an ESD-safe surface.
2.
Position the new DIMM in the same slot , lining up the
DIMM notch with the guide in the slot.
3.
Firmly press the DIMM down until the latches lock it in place.
Reinstall Top Panels
1.
Position the top panel with no more than one-half inch
(1.25cm) extending out over the rear of the unit.
2.
Slide the panel forward until it is fully seated.

Secure the unit using the two captive screws on the front flanges.
Reinstall the Drives
Return the drive carriers back to their original bays:
1.
Position a drive carrier in front of its empty bay .
2.
Slide the carrier in until the latch locks (clicks).
3.

For SnapScale, depending on the shutdown procedure used:
• After adding memory to all nodes, at the front of each node in the cluster, press the power switch to power each node ON.
• After adding memory to a single node only, press the power switch to power ON that node. When it finishes booting, the node rejoins the cluster and rebuilds peer sets. Let all peer sets complete their rebuilding process before reconfiguring any additional nodes.
Verify Memory
1.
In the Web Management Interface, go to Monitor > System
Status .
2.
Verify the Memory amount is correct.
The usual DIMM memory GB rounding variations apply.
