Memory Board
9715 Server      Show Part Numbers

This graphic shows one memory board installed in the Gateway® 9715 server. Memory boards can be configured in either redundant (RAID or mirroring) or non-redundant configurations. When a memory board is configured for redundancy, and a memory board or DIMM fault occurs, the board can be hot swapped. With redundancy, DIMMs can also be added while the server is running. If the memory boards are not configured for redundancy, the server must be turned off before removing a memory board.

How do I remove and replace a memory board?

The following two graphics show closer views of the LEDs and controls on the top of the memory board.
