Installing the SODIMM
1. The SODIMM sockets are located on the system board.
2. Note the key on the socket. The key ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in
one direction only.
3. Grasping the module by its edges, align the module into the socket at an approximately 30
degrees angle. Apply firm even pressure to each end of the module until it slips down into
the socket. The contact fingers on the edge of the module will almost completely disappear
inside the socket.
4. Push the module down until the clips at each end of the socket lock into position. You will
hear a distinctive “click”, indicating the module is correctly locked into position.
