Inserting a DIMM
CAUTION: Touch the metal plate over the hard disk drive to discharge any
static electricity that might have built up on your clothes or body.
The system must be plugged in (see step 1 on page 72) for this to work.
CAUTION: Use a grounding strap and handle memory modules by the
non-metallic edges only.
1. To insert a DIMM module, hold the module with one hand at each
end with the contacts down and the chip side of the DIMM toward
the front of the computer.
Notice that there are two notches in the contact edge of the DIMM module.
2. Lower the DIMM squarely to the slot so that the notches line up with
the raised key areas of the DIMM socket.
