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.
To install a DIMM
1. Unlock a DDR2 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.
A DDR2 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.
