13.2 UPGRADING RAM
A DDR3 memory module has a notch, so it can only fit in one direction. Follow the steps
below to correctly install your memory modules in the memory sockets. Before installing a
memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. DDR3 and DDR2 DIMMs are not
compatible to each other or DDR DIMMs. Be sure to install only DDR3 DIMMs on this
motherboard.
1) Note the orientation of the memory module. Spread the retaining clips at both ends of the
memory socket. Place the memory module on the socket. As indicated in the picture on the
left, place your fingers on the top edge of the memory, push down on the memory and insert
it vertically into the memory socket.
