1.7.3 Installing a DIMM

Follow these steps 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.

A DDR 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.
