Installing a SODIMM
The SODIMM sockets are located on the top side of the system board; it can be accessed after
removing the chassis cover. The memory module requirements are as follows:
• 260-pin DDR4 SODIMMs
• 2400 or 2133 MHz
• Non-ECC
To install the SO-DIMMs, follow these steps:
1. Open the system by following the "Removing the Chassis Cover" procedure.
2. Grasp the module by its edges and align the memory’s notch with the socket’s key; then
insert the memory into the socket at an angle and push it down until the retaining clips
snap into place.
Notes:
1. The system supports dual-channel configuration. To enable dual-channel,
populate both SODIMM sockets.
2. The SODIMM sockets can only accept DDR4 memory modules. Please do not
install other types of memory modules.
