Installing a DIMM

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.

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.
