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.
