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.
