3. Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and insert the
memory module in the socket.
NOTE:
Ensure the memory socket ejectors are fully open.
NOTE:
The memory module socket has an alignment key that enables you to install the memory module in the socket in
only one orientation.
CAUTION:
Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at both ends of the
memory module evenly.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the memory module or the memory module socket during installation, do
not bend or flex the memory module; insert both ends of the memory module simultaneously.
4. Press the memory module with your thumbs until the ejectors firmly click into place. When the memory module is properly
seated in the socket, the levers on the memory module socket align with the levers on the other sockets that have memory
modules installed.
