Installing Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

This motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM sockets.
It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into DDR3 socket;
otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be damaged.
Note
Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing
SO-DIMMs or the system components.
Note
Step 1. Unlock a SO-DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step 2. Align a SO-DIMM module on the socket such that the notch on the module matches
the break on the socket.
The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage
to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the socket at
incorrect orientation.
Note
Step 3. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips at both ends fully
snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.
