system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the
motherboard and the components.
To install a DIMM:

to unlock a DIMM socket by .
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 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.

motherboard package.
