Chapter 2: Installation
2-11
Warning:
Due to insufficient distance (limited clear
-
ance) between memory blocks A & D and B & C, be
sure to put the release tabs of the memory slots in
block D into the upright position before you install
memory modules in block A, and vice versa. Also, be
sure to put the release tabs of the memory slots in
block C into an upright position before installing mem-
ory modules in block B, and vice versa. For example,
put the release tabs of P2-DIMMG1/G2/H1/H2 into an
upright position before installing memory modules into
Slots P1-DIMMA1/A2/B1/B2. Refer to the graphic on
the right for proper memory installation.

unlock it.
2. Align the key of the DIMM module with the receptive point on the memory
slot.
3. Align the notches on both ends of the module against the receptive points on
the ends of the slot.
4. Use two thumbs together to press the notches on both ends of the module
straight down into the slot until the module snaps into place.
5. Press the release tabs to the locking positions to secure the DIMM module
into the slot.
