Installing a Memory
If you take a look at front side of memory module, it has asymmetric pin counts on both sides sepa-
rated by a notch in the middle, so it can only fit in one direction. Follow the steps below to correctly
install your memory modules into the sockets.
Step 1:
Spread the clips at both ends of the memory socket.
Place the memory module onto the socket, then put your
fingers on top edge of the module, and push it down
firmly and seat it vertically into the memory socket.
Step 2:
The clips at both ends of the socket will snap into place
when the memory module is securely inserted.
■
Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. Be sure to
install DDR3 DIMMs on this motherboard.
