I've been running 16gb non ECC ram for the past month, but I will upgrade to 16gb ECC ram now.
My question is in regards to the actual process of upgrading. I'm not sure if this is a trivial question or not. Is it ok to simply shutdown the server, disconnect the power supply, and then replace the non-ECC ram with ECC ram? Specifically, I'm not clear as to whether the physical switch will cause problems/corrupt my data. I have been unable to find any literature specifying a specific hardware procedure upgrade (w/ exception of HDD upgrades). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
System:
Asrock C2550D4I
5x 3TB WD Red
16gb non-ECC ram
