Installing a DIMM

Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs

or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage

to both the motherboard and the components.

Unlock a DIMM socket by

pressing the retaining clips

outward.

Align a DIMM on the socket

such that the notch on the

DIMM matches the break on the

socket.

A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction.

DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

Firmly insert the DIMM into the

socket until the retaining clips

snap back in place and the DIMM

is properly seated.
