Figure 18- DIMM insertion
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.
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket in
the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM.
Figure 19- DIMM lock
Always insert the DIMM into the socket VERTICALLY to prevent DIMM notch damage.
3.
Hold the DIMM by both of its ends, then insert the DIMM vertically into the socket. Apply force to
both ends of the DIMM simultaneously until the retaining clips snap back into place, and the
DIMM cannot be pushed in any further to ensure proper sitting of the DIMM.
Removing a DIMM
1.
Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
2.
Remove the DIMM from the socket.
Figure 20-DIMM removal
Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The DIMM might get
damaged when it flips out with extra force.
