Installing & Removing DIMMs
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory
slots, starting with P1-DIMM #1A. When populating
multiple DIMM modules within a channel, always start
with Bank1 fi rst. (For best performance, please use the
memory modules of the same type and same speed in
the same bank.)
2. Press down the release tabs on the ends of a memory
slot. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot.
Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the
module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incor-
rectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps
into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules.
4. Reverse the steps above to remove the DIMM mod-
ules from the motherboard.
To Remove:
