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.
Installing Memory Modules
„ Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the
retaining clips outward.
„ Align the ”notch” on the memory module to
the “break” on the socket.
„ Firmly insert the module into the socket until
the retaining clips snap back into place and
the module is properly seated.
„ Make sure the memory module is locked on
the socket with both retaining clips.
To avoid damaging a memory module slot, move the end latches slightly outward to
relieve pressure.
The BIOS recognizes the installed memory and configures the CMOS Setup Utility
automatically.
A DDR 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.
