• To install two or more DIMMs, refer to the user guide bundled with the motherboard
package.
• Refer to the user guide for qualified vendor lists of the memory modules.
Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The DIMM
might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
Always insert the DIMM into the socket VERTICALLY to prevent DIMM notch damage.
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into
a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM.
