Installing a DIMM
After you install a new processor, install a DIMM for it. See "DIMM configuration" on the label on the
underside of the access panel.
To install a DIMM:
1.
Open the retaining clips of the DIMM slot.
2.
Align the notch on the DIMM bottom edge with the key on the DIMM slot.
3.
Insert the DIMM into the slot and make sure the retaining slips lock the DIMM in place.
The DIMM slot has a structure that prevents misalignment. If you cannot insert the DIMM into
the slot easily, the installation might be wrong. Reorient the DIMM and then insert it into the
slot again.
