Grasping the card by its right edge and the edge of its RAM slot, 
carefully insert the tabs into the processor card shield and align 
the connectors on the bottom of the card with the correspond-
ing connectors on the logic board

 Support Note:

 If you are installing two RAM modules into 

the Crescendo/WS card, be sure to install them into the 

expansion slots that correspond to those on the original processor 
card. When you install RAM, note that the modules are designed to fit 
into the slot only one way; align the notch in the module to the guide 
in the slot.
