System Installation
Memory Module Installation
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the SO-DIMMs:
1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the SO-DIMM, ground
yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or use a ground strap before you
touch the SO-DIMM.
2. Do not touch the connectors of the SO-DIMM. Dirt or other residue may cause a
malfunction.
3. Hold the SO-DIMM with its notch aligned with the memory socket of the board
and insert it at a 30-degree angle into the socket.

4. Fully insert the module into the socket until a “click” is heard.
5. Press down on the SO-DIMM so that the tabs of the socket lock on both sides
of the module
