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 DDR 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.

Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips.

The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
