2.4.3 Installing a DIMM
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the
socket until the retaining clip snaps
back in place and the DIMM is
properly seated.
A 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.
To install a DIMM
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing
the retaining clip outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such
that the notch on the DIMM matches
the break on the socket.
Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clip. The
DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
Ensure 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.
