Installing DIMMs
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components.
Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning any installation
procedure. Refer to Appendix C, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more
information.
To install a memory module, complete the following steps:
1. Remove both memory boards from the I/O board and place them flat
on a static-dissipating work surface.
2. Align the key slot in the bottom edge of each DIMM with the tab in the
expansion slot. DIMMs will not seat if turned the wrong way.

3. Insert each DIMM straight down into a socket on the
memory board.
4. As the DIMM goes into the socket, the latches spread open.
5. Use your thumbs to press firmly down on the DIMM while pushing the
latches inward with you index fingers until the latches snap into place.
6. Press the module gently, allowing the latches to snap into place.
