To complete the inventory, complete the following steps:

  1. Verify that you received all the boxes you ordered.
  2. Unpack the server components as needed.
  3. Complete a parts inventory before you install each server component by following these steps:
    1. Locate the inventory list for your server.
    2. Ensure that you received all the parts that you ordered.
      Note: Your order information is included with your product. You can also obtain order information from your marketing representative or the IBM® Business Partner.
      If you have incorrect, missing, or damaged parts, consult any of the following resources:
      • Your IBM reseller.
      • IBM Rochester manufacturing automated information line at 1-800-300-8751 (United States only).

  4. If you ordered DDR4 memory, two memory voltage regulator modules will be shipped with the ordered system. You must install them. To install the memory voltage regulator modules, complete the following steps:
    1. Place the memory voltage regulator module into the connector of the system backplane, as shown in Figure 1.
    2. Press down the memory voltage regulator module until it is firmly in place.
      Note: When you install the memory voltage regulator module, ensure that the green tab (A) is on the side of the memory voltage regulator module that is closest to the front of the system. This will ensure that the memory voltage regulator module is oriented correctly and not installed 180 degrees front to back.

    3. Ensure that the blue tab (B) that extends above the memory voltage regulator module is moved toward the outside of the frame, and not toward the inside of the frame. If it is moved toward the inside of the frame, it can touch the adjoining card.
