2.4.3 Installing a DIMM
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the
socket until the retaining clip snaps

the retaining clip outward.

DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
Ensure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other
system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the
motherboard and the components.
