Removing a DIMM from a single clip DIMM socket
• To install two or more DIMMs, refer to the user guide bundled in the
motherboard package.
• Refer to the user guide for qualified vendor lists of the memory modules.
Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The
DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
Always insert the DIMM into the socket VERTICALLY to prevent damage to the
DIMM notch.
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.
