Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
Chapter 2
Installing the DIMM Module
1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered down.
2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.
3. Locate the SODIMM socket on the system board.
4. Note the key on the socket. The key ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in
only one direction.
Note:
The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual
board. These illustrations are for reference only.
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.
Single Channel
DIMMs are on the same channel.
DIMMs in a channel can be identical or
completely different. However, we highly
recommend using identical DIMMs.
Not all slots need to be populated.
Important:
If you are installing one DDR3/DDR3L SODIMM only, make sure that the SODIMM 2
socket must be populated first.
