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

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

Installing a DIMM

WARNING: 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 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.

1. Simultaneously press the retaining

clips outward to unlock the DIMM.

2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.

NOTE: A DDR3 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.

NOTE: The DDR3 DIMM sockets do not support non-DDR3 DIMMs.
