1.7.3 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 remove a DIMM:
1.
Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
Support the DIMM lightly with
your fingers when pressing the
retaining clips. The DIMM might
get damaged when it flips out with
extra force.
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.
1. Unlock a DDR2 DIMM socket by
pressing the retaining clips outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that
the notch on the DIMM matches the
