Installing the SO-DIMM Module
Please follow the steps below to install the memory card into the socket.
Step 1:
Insert the memory card into the
slot while making sure 1) the
notch and the key are aligned,
and 2) the non-connector end
rises approximately 45 degrees
horizontally. Press the card firmly
into the socket while applying and
maintaining even pressure on both
ends.
Step 2:
Press the end of the card far from
the socket down while making
sure the retention notch and the
clip align as indicated by the dot-
ted line in the illustration. If the
retention notch and the clip do
not align, please remove the card
and re-insert it. Press the card all
the way down.
Step 3:
The clips snap automatically and
abruptly to the retention notches
of the card sounding a distinctive
click, and lock the card in place.
Inspect that the clip sits in the
notch. If not, please pull the clips
outward, release and remove the
card, and mount it again.

Heatsink
The CPU must be kept cool by using a heatsink, otherwise the CPU will overheat damaging
both the CPU and system board.
1. Before you install the heatsink, you must apply a thermal paste onto the top of the
CPU. The thermal paste is usually supplied when you purchase the heatsink assembly.
Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later place the heatsink on top
of the CPU, the compound will disperse evenly.
Some heatsinks come with a patch of pre-applied thermal paste. Do not apply thermal
paste if the heatsink already has a patch of thermal paste on its underside. Peel the
strip that covers the paste before you place the heatsink on top of the CPU.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU. The 4 spring screws around the heatsink, which
are used to secure the heatsink onto the system board, must match the 4 mounting
holes around the socket.
