2.3.4 Installing a DIMM on a double-clip DIMM socket
Ensure 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.
1. Press the retaining clips outward to
unlock a DIMM socket.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such
that the notch on the DIMM matches
the break on the socket.
A 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.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket
until the retaining clips snap back
in place and the DIMM is properly
seated.
Removing a DIMM from a double-clip DIMM socket
1. Simultaneously press the retaining
clips outward to unlock the
DIMM.
Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The
DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
