Installing Memory Modules
1. Unlock the DIMM slot by flip-
ping open its side clips.
2. Vertically insert the DIMM into
the DIMM slot. The DIMM
has an off-center notch at the
bottom that will only allow it to
fit one way into the DIMM slot.
Push the DIMM deeply into the
DIMM slot. The side clips of
the slot will automatically close
when the DIMM is properly
seated and an audible click
should be heard.
3. Manually check if the DIMM
has been locked in place by the
DIMM slot’s side clips.
