Installing a DIMM
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.
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.
