4. Install the new memory modules with heatsinks.
a. Hold the memory module by its edges as you remove it
from its anti-static bag.
b. Orient the module so the notch on its bottom edge
aligns with the keyed surface of the DIMM slot. See the
illustration at right.
The keyed surface is off center to assist the correct
alignment.
c. Press the module fully into the slot to engage the lock
levers.

IMPORTANT
Use an anti-static wriststrap that is connected to the work surface, and properly
grounded tools and equipment.
Hold all memory modules by their sides to avoid touching the contacts on the bottom or
circuitry on the boards.
IMPORTANT
For hazardous locations, only the integrated display computer with a PCAP touch screen
and non-display computers can use this PCI riser card and PCI add-in cards.
For instructions on how to install PCIe or PCI add-in cards, see publication
The Industrial Computers for Hazardous Locations, Series H, User Manual.
IMPORTANT
Use an anti-static wriststrap that is connected to the work surface, and properly
grounded tools and equipment.
Hold any card by its edges to avoid touching the contacts on the bottom or circuitry on
the board.
ATTENTION:
Do not discard the slot cover or its screw. If the add-in card is removed in the future,
the slot cover must be reinstalled to maintain agency access requirements.
