Hold the DIMM component side up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) closest to you. Hold the
ends of the DIMM between your thumb and forefinger. See

Step 4
Tilt the DIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket and insert the connector edge into the
socket. Note the two notches (keys) on the connector edge of the DIMM. These keys are intended to
ensure correct orientation of the DIMM in the socket.
Caution
When inserting DIMMs, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have to
return the route processor to the factory for repair.
Step 5
Note the orientation of the socket key on the DIMM and the DIMM socket, and gently push the DIMM
into the socket until the lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket, and the DIMM edge
connector is fully inserted. If necessary, rock the DIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly.
Figure 14-24
shows how to install the DIMM in the socket for the Cisco ASR 1001 Router.

Step 6
After the DIMM is installed, check whether the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM
socket. If it is not, the DIMM might not be seated properly. If the DIMM appears misaligned, carefully
remove it according to the removal procedure and then reseat it in the socket. Push the DIMM firmly
back into the socket until the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket.
Step 7
Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 for the remaining DIMMs.
Step 8
