Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory :
■
Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that
memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
■
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.
■
Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only
one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
