1.7.3 Installing a DIMM

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.
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 socket.
