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.

1. Position the DIMM at a 30º-45º

angle, then match the notch on

the DIMM with the break on the

socket.

2. Carefully push the DIMM to the

socket until its connectors (golden

fingers) are fully-inserted to the

socket.

3. Press the DIMM firmly until the

DIMM socket retaining clips snap

back and secure the DIMM in

place.

When installed, the DIMM appears

as shown.
