WARNING: The memory modules are hot to touch for some time after the system has been
powered down. Allow the memory modules to cool before handling them. Handle the memory
modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components or metallic contacts on the
memory module.
Steps
1.
Locate the appropriate memory-module socket.
CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the card edges, making sure not to touch
the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.
2.
If a memory module or a memory-module blank is installed in the socket, remove it.
NOTE: Retain the removed memory-module blank(s) for future use.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module or the memory-module socket during
installation, do not bend or flex the memory module; insert both ends of the memory module
simultaneously.
3.
Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module
socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.
NOTE: The memory-module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the memory
module in the socket in only one orientation.
CAUTION: Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at both
ends of the memory module evenly.
4.
Press the memory module with your thumbs until the socket levers firmly click into place.
