6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the
outside of the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.
7. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.
8. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the slots at the ends of the
DIMM connector.
9. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM
simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the
connector.
Note: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly
inserted; open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it.
10. Replace the compute book cover. Align the cover on the compute book and slide it forward toward the
front to the expansion module until it is firmly seated.
