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 insert
ed.
Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the
