Chapter 1: Product introduction

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.

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.
