Installing the Motherboard 2-5
User’s Manual
The following procedure will show you how to install a DIMM module into a DIMM socket.
Step 1. Before you install the memory
module, please place the computer power
switch in the
off position and disconnect
the AC power cord from your computer.
Step 2. Remove the computer’s chassis
cover.
Step 3. Before touching any electronic
components, make sure you first touch
an unpainted, grounded metal object to
discharge any static electricity stored on
your clothing or body.
Step 4. Locate your computer’s 168-pin
memory expansion DIMM socket.
Step 5. Insert the DIMM module into the expansion socket as shown in the illustration.
Note how the module is keyed to the socket. You can refer to figure 2-4 for the
details.
This insures the DIMM module will be plugged into the socket in one way
only . Firmly press the DIMM module into the DIMM socket, making certain the
module is completely seated in the DIMM socket.
Step 6. Once the DIMM module has been installed, the installation is complete and the
computer’s cover can be replaced. Or you can continue to install other devices and
add-on cards that are mentioned in the following section.
Note
When you install a DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket, the eject tab should be
locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on the both sides.
