Installing A Dimm On A Single Clip Dimm Socket - Asus ESC4000 G3 Series User Manual

2.3.3

Installing a DIMM on a single clip DIMM socket

1. Press the retaining clip 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. Hold the DIMM on both ends, then insert
the DIMM vertically into the socket.
Apply force to both ends of the DIMM
simultaneously until the retaining clip
snaps back into place, and the DIMM
cannot be pushed in any further to ensure
proper sitting of the DIMM.
Always insert the DIMM into the socket VERTICALLY to prevent damage to the DIMM notch.
