memory module into the socket 2.
Installing a DIMM
✎
A memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the notch
on the module with the tab on the memory socket.
✎
For maximum performance, poplulate the sockets so that the memory
capacity of Channel A is equal to the memory capacity of Channel B.
Fo example, if you have one preinstalled DIMM in socket XMM1 and
are adding a second DIMM, it is recommended that you install a
DIMM of equal memory capacity into the XMM3 or XMM4 socket.
6. Push the module down into the socket, ensuring that the module
is fully inserted and properly seated. Make sure the latches are in
the closed position 3.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to install any additional modules.
8. Replace the access panel.
The computer should automatically recognize the additional memory
the next time you turn on the computer.
