Page 17: Ddr2 Memory Module Installation
Installations 2.1.3 DDR2 Memory Module Installation Figure 5 display the notch marks and what they should look like on your DDR2 DIMM memory module. DDR2 DIMMs have 240-pins and two notches, that will match with the onboard DIMM socket. DDR2 DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 6) until it fits tightly into the DDR2 DIMM socket.
Page 18 Installations Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DDR2 DIMMs: 1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DDR2 DIMM, ground yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap before you touch the DDR2 DIMM. 2.
