Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules. 

1.  Locate the DIMM slot on the board. 

2.  Hold two edges of the DIMM module 

carefully, keep away of touching its 
connectors. 

3.  Align the notch key on the module with the 

rib on the slot. 

4.  Firmly press the module into the slots until 

the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot 
automatically snaps into the mounting notch. 
Do not force the DIMM module in with extra 
force as the DIMM module only fit in one direction. 

5.  To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and 

then pull out the DIMM module. 

ATTENTION:

 Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional 

boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a 
grounded metal object briefly.
