Carefully hold the DIMM by the edges to avoid pressure on the components
on the DIMM circuit board.
The number and placement of system DIMMs depends on the model of your system.
4.2.5. Step 5: Install new DIMMs
Install a new DIMM to replace the old one.
Steps
1. Hold the DIMM by the corners, and align it to the slot.
The notch among the pins on the DIMM should line up with the tab in the socket.
2. Insert the DIMM squarely into the slot.
The DIMM fits tightly in the slot, but should go in easily. If not, realign the DIMM with the slot
and reinsert it.
Visually inspect the DIMM to verify that it is evenly aligned and fully inserted
into the slot.
3. Push carefully, but firmly, on the top edge of the DIMM until the latches snap into place over the
notches at the ends of the DIMM.
DIMMs fit tightly. You might need to gently press on one side at a time and
secure with each tab individually.
