Memory Installation Procedure
When installing memory modules, make sure the modules align properly with the memory
socket. There should be keys (small indents) on your memory modules that fit according to
the keys in the memory socket. DDR2 modules and sockets have only one key, which is
slightly near the center of the module/socket. The method of installing memory modules is
detailed in the following diagrams.

Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the socket, two clamps on either side will
close and secure the module into the socket. Sometimes you may need to close the

To remove the memory module, simply push the clamps outwards until the memory
module pops up. Then simply remove the module.
TIP: When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amount of force to
seat properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your
motherboard, place it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with
memory installation.
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector to the
NOTE motherboard before performing system hardware changes, to
avoid damaging the board or expansion device.
