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.
