If you are replacing a memory module, put the
new memory module in the same memory slot
from which the old memory was removed.

If you are adding a memory module, install the
new module into the socket nearest the
preinstalled module, and install additional
modules in the next available sockets.
2 The memory module can be installed in only one
way. Match the notch on the module (1) with the
tab on the memory socket. Push the module
carefully and firmly into the slot, ensuring that the
latches (2) on both ends snap into place.
