4. Press the DIMM fully into the socket. The
retaining latches will rotate upwards and should
fit into the corresponding notches on the DIMM.
Press the latches into place if necessary. If the
latches won’t insert properly into the module
notches push them back and try inserting the
DIMM again. When the latches are fully in place
the DIMM is properly installed.
Depending on the module size and the total capacity
you want to install, you may install memory in only
one or both sockets. For example, to install 128MB
of system memory you can install either one 128MB
DIMM in one socket or two 64MB modules using
both sockets. We recommend that you use the largest
module that fits your installation plans so that you
can leave the second socket open for later upgrades.
If you want to upgrade system memory after the
motherboard is installed you can install additional
memory in the empty socket. If there is no empty
socket, you will need to remove at least one module
and replace it with the upgrade module. In some
cases, you may need to remove both modules to al-
low installing your intended configuration. To re-
move a DIMM do as follows.
1. Make sure the computer is turned off and un-
plugged.
