INSTALLATION
For maximum performance under typical workloads, RAM should be populated according to the table
above.
Using proper anti-static procedures, locate the slot in which you want to install RAM, then gently move
the two retaining prongs away from the center of the slot until they reach a hard stop. Grasping the
memory DIMM by the edges, align the notch on the memory DIMM with the key in the slot, then firmly
and evenly press the DIMM into place while holding the DIMM at a 90° angle to the mainboard. The
DIMM is properly seated when both retaining prongs move inward and contact the sides of the DIMM.
Do not touch the electrical contacts on the memory DIMM as this may induce corrosion, leading to
poor connections and unreliable operation.
WARNING:
If a DIMM will not fully seat, or tilts to one side,
stop
. Remove the DIMM and double-
check the location of the notch versus the slot key. If the DIMM still will not seat, double check that the
type of memory is correct. The C1P9S01 only accepts full-size 288-pin DDR4 DIMMs, and other
types of memory will not seat or function. DO NOT attempt to force a DIMM into a slot as this may
cause permanent damage to the RAM, CPU, and/or mainboard.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to install memory DIMMs in an improperly mounted mainboard. Due to
the pressure required to properly seat a DIMM, mainboard flex tolerances could be exceeded if one or
more mounting studs is missing. Exceeding flex tolerances may cause irreparable damage to the
mainboard.
REMOVAL
Locate the DIMM you wish to remove, then, using proper anti-static procedures, gently move the two
retaining prongs away from the center of the slot until they reach a hard stop. The memory DIMM will
partially unseat from the slot, and may be fully removed by gently and evenly pulling away from the
mainboard while grasping the DIMM by its two short edges. Do not touch the electrical contacts on
the memory DIMM as this may induce corrosion and lead to poor connections and unreliable
operation.
