RE: Upgrading memory.

You will want to replace the 4GB with the 8GB chips. Power the machine
down, unplug. You will have to first remove the 4 fans (You lift up the
orange tabs), and then pull the four blue pins up on the big plastic
housing. Then lift the plastic housing, which will uncover the Dimm slots.
Put wrist strap on, and then remove the old ones (you will see two 4GB dimms
in each set of 4 Dimms slots). Afterwards, return the plastic housing, push
the blue pins in, put the fans back in, and push orange tab down. Bring up
machine, go into DST to make sure you see all the new memory. Then inside
of hardware service manager, take option 4 and you should remove the old
memory. Then you can ship the old memory to me, and I can use it in one of
my Power6 machines.

Subject: Upgrading memory.

I want to upgrade my memory on my 8203-E4A today. I've received two
packets. Both contain two chips. Label on packet says
Feat 4524
2 x 8192MB

In WRKHDWRSC *PRC I currently show:
Resource Type-model Status Text
MS05 31A6 Operational 4096MB Main Storage Car
MS06 31A6 Operational 4096MB Main Storage Car
MS07 31A6 Operational 4096MB Main Storage Car
MS08 31A6 Operational 4096MB Main Storage Car
MS09 31A8 Operational 8192MB Main Storage Car
MS10 31A8 Operational 8192MB Main Storage Car
MS11 31A8 Operational 8192MB Main Storage Car
MS12 31A8 Operational 8192MB Main Storage Car

Where do I find instructions on doing this?
