Installing DIMMs

Upgrades and Options
When properly installed, the DIMM module is oriented
at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the system board.
1. Power off the system and remove the side panel as
described earlier in this chapter.
Notice: Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic
wrist strap. Hold DIMMs only by their edges.
2. Holding the DIMM module only by the edges, remove
it from its antistatic package.
3. DIMMs are keyed so they can only be inserted one
way. Position the DIMM over the socket on the board
(Figure 4-6, A and B). The notches in the bottom
edge of the DIMM mates with the raised bumps in
the DIMM socket.
4. Press down evenly on the DIMM until it seats
correctly. The white levers on the sockets are not
"tools" to aid in the insertion, only to keep the
DIMM's in place and to aid in extraction. The levers
should click in place once the DIMM is fully inserted.
5. Repeat the above steps to install any remaining
DIMMs.
6. Replace the side panel and turn on the system.
