2.4.3 Installing a DIMM
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until
the retaining clips snap back in place and the
DIMM is properly seated.
Make sure 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.
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.
