Installing a DIMM

You may install 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DDR DIMMs into the DIMM
sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
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.
Follow these steps 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.
