The DIMM will only fit in one orientation. Insert the DIMM at an

socket snap into place.
Note:
Notice the notch on the DIMM. The notches should fit nicely with the
socket.
10. Replace DIMM Metal Cover and 3 Screw A's. Put the
keyboard back to its position. Make sure the upper edge of the
keyboard now resides under the spring-loaded latches.
