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.

 

1.  Power off the computer and disconnect the AC power cord. 

2.  Locate the DDR DIMM slot. 

3.  Push both ejector tabs of the DDR 

DIMM slot outward. 

4.  Insert the memory module into the DDR 

DIMM slot. Note how the module is 
keyed to the slot. 

This insures the 

memory module

 

will be plugged into 

the slot in one way only

5.  Firmly press the memory module into 

the DDR DIMM slot until both ejector tabs snap into places.
