Wow! That wasn't scary at all! :-)
I never imagined I'd have to gut the whole box to get to the DIMMs, but once
I got over the fear of yanking parts out of this very expensive computer, it
turned out to be no big deal. Of course I made sure I was grounded with the
grounding strap first...
The worst part was IPL'ing after and waiting for the system to come back up.
It actually didn't the first time...just kind of hung there on an SRC code
(don't remember which one), so I pulled the plug, gave it a minute or so and
IPL'd again and it came up fine.
Yeesh.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: DIMM Slot Location
On our 520 it was pretty simple (other than 2 bad dimms):
* remove the side panel
* pull the two blue buttons at top/bottom of fan assembly and slide it out
* pull the two orange(?) levers on the power supply and slide it out
* remove the one metal shield above the power supply (no tools required)
That will expose the 4 slots at the top of the mainboard and the 4 in the
middle.
Depending on which 520 you have, the dimms are installed in pairs or quads.
I suggest making sure you can access ASMI or the HMC before doing the
upgrade. You may need to 'configure' the dimms...
Hope this helps,
Dave
