Installing a DIMM
Ensure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system
components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the
components.
1.
Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
2.
Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the DIMM slot
key on the socket.
Figure 20 - DIMM insertion
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into
a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.
3.
Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and
the DIMM is properly seated.
