Installing A Dimm; Removing A Dimm - Asus P4SP-MX User Manual

1.7.3 Installing a DIMM

Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or
other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
the motherboard and the components.
Follow these steps to install a DIMM.
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing
the retaining clips outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that
the notch on the DIMM matches the
break on the socket.
A DDR DIMM is keyed with a
notch so that it fits in only one
direction. DO NOT force a DIMM
into a socket to avoid damaging
the DIMM.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket
until the retaining clips snap back in
place and the DIMM is properly
seated.

1.7.4 Removing a DIMM

Follow these steps to remove a DIMM.
1. Simultaneously press the retaining
clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
Support the DIMM lightly with your
fingers when pressing the
retaining clips. The DIMM might
get damaged when it flips out with
extra force.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
