2.4.3 Installing a DIMM
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.
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.
2.4.4 Removing a DIMM
Follow these steps to remove a DIMM.
1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
• 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.
Support the DIMM lightly with your
fingers when pressing the retaining
clips. The DIMM might get damaged
when it flips out with extra force.
