If you are replacing a memory module, remove the existing module:
a
Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the securing clips on each end of the memory module
connector until the module pops up.
b
Remove the module from the connector.
NOTICE:
If you need to install memory modules in two connectors, install a memory module in the connector
labeled “DIMMA” before you install a module in the connector labeled “DIMMB.” Insert memory modules at a
45-degree angle to avoid damaging the connector.
NOTE:
If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer may not boot properly. No error message
indicates this failure.

Ground yourself and install the new memory module:
a
Align the notch in the module edge connector with the tab in the connector slot.
b
Slide the module firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and rotate the module down until it
clicks into place. If you do not feel the click, remove the module and reinstall it.
