CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules
to avoid damaging the DIMM modules or the motherboard.
Installing & Removing DIMMs
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with P1-
DIMMA1. For best performance, please use DIMM modules of the same type
and speed in the same bank.
2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
Removing Memory Modules
Press both release tabs on the ends of the DIMM to unlock it. Once the DIMM is
loosened, remove it from the memory slot.
3. Align the key of the DIMM module with the receptive point on the memory
slot.
4. Align the notches on both ends of the module against the receptive points at
each side of the slot.
5. With your thumbs, press the notches on both ends of the module straight
down into the slot until the module snaps into place.
6. Press the release tabs to their locking positions to secure the DIMM into the
slot.
Press both notches straight
down into the memory slot at
the same time.
