Step 1: 

Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM 
on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot.

 

 

Step 2: 

Insert the DIMM vertically and firmly into the slot until the retaining clips 
snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated. 

 

Note: 

If the DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out and try again.
