EVGA Z77 Stinger Motherboard
Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
Your new motherboard has two 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots
support 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB DDR3 DIMMs. There must be at least one
memory slot populated to ensure normal operation.
Use the following procedure to install DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap
near the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the DIMM to
ensure the component is installed properly.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.

Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically
into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot
automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.
Installing the Motherboard
The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the
chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or
working with an empty system case. Determine if it would be easier to make all
the connections prior to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make
all the connections. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first.
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the
motherboard into the chassis.
Note:
Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the system
case covers to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure
the CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers. This will
depend on the system case being used.
