SO-DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.
1. Unlock a SO-DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward
2. Align a SO-DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the SO-DIMM matches the
break on the socket.
3. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place
and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.
