Installing a DIMM

Caution! Unplug the power supply before adding or
removing DIMMs or other system components.
Failure to do so can cause severe damage to
both the motherboard and the components.
To install a DIMM:
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM
matches the break on the socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips
snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

ing the DIMM.
