NOTICE:

To prevent damage to the memory module connector, do not use tools to spread the memory-

module securing clips.

4 If you are replacing a memory module, remove the existing module:

a

Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the securing clips on each end of the memory
module connector until the module pops up.

b

Remove the module from the connector.

NOTICE:

If you need to install memory modules in two connectors, install a memory module in the

connector labeled “DIMM A” before you install a module in the connector labeled “DIMM B.” Insert
memory modules at a 45-degree angle to avoid damaging the connector.

NOTE:

If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer may not boot properly. No error

message indicates this failure.

5 Ground yourself and install the new memory module:

a

Align the notch in the module edge connector with the tab in the connector slot.

b

Slide the module firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and rotate the module down
until it clicks into place. If you do not feel the click, remove the module and reinstall it.
