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.
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 DIMM slot key 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 in the wrong direction 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.
