How to Install DIMM Modules on Motherboard
1. The SDRAM sockets are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with
cut-outs so that they cannot be installed incorrectly. Check that the cut-outs
on the DIMM edge connector match the notches in the SDRAM socket. In
other words, before inserting the DIMM, make sure the pin1 of the DIMM
matches with the pin1 on the DIMM socket.
2. Push down the latches on each side of the SDRAM socket.
3. Install the DIMM into the socket and press it carefully but firmly down so
that it seats correctly. The latches on either side of the socket will be levered
upwards and latched on the edges of the DIMM when installed correctly.
