2.4.3 Installing a DIMM

To install a DIMM:

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 sockets.

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.
