3 Upgrading your system 74
Note: Place your forefingers on the top of the DIMM before
pressing the holding clips to gently disengage the DIMM from the
socket.
Installing a DIMM
Before you can install a new DIMM in a socket, remove first any
previously installed DIMM from that socket.
1 Locate the DIMM socket on the mainboard.
2 Open the clips on the socket.
3 Align then insert the DIMM into the socket ( a ).
4 Press the holding clips inward to lock the DIMM in place ( b ).
Note: The DIMM socket is slotted to ensure proper installation.
If you insert a DIMM but it does not fit easily into the socket, you
may have inserted incorrectly. Reverse the orientation of the
DIMM and insert it again.
Reconfiguring your system memory
The system automatically detects the amount of memory installed.
Run the BIOS Setup utility to view the new value for total system
memory and make a note of it.
