Memory Installation

1. Locate the DIMM sockets. Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed
outward to the open position (see letter "A").
2. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package. Position the DIMM above the
socket. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket (see letter
"B").
3. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket (see letter "C"). When the DIMM is inserted,
push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the retaining clips snap into place (see letter "D").
Make sure the clips are firmly in place (see letter "E").
