2.4.3

Installing a DIMM

Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other
system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the
motherboard and the components.
To install a DIMM:
1. Unlock a 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.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the
retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM
is properly seated.
• 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.
• The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support
DDR DIMMs. DO NOT install DDR DIMMs
to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.
