Installing Memory Modules - MSI G52-74111X2 Manual

Installing Memory Modules

1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The plastic
clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module
is properly seated.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is prop-
erly inserted in the DIMM slot.
3. Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot
clips at the sides.
Important
1. In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules
of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
2. To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory
modules into the DIMM1 first.
3. Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only
be detected up to 7+GB (not full 8GB) when each DIMM is installed
with a 2GB memory module.
