TIP:
When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amount of force to seat
properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place it on
its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with memory installation.
NOTE
YOU MUST ALWAYS
unplug the power connector to the
motherboard before performing system hardware changes, to
avoid damaging the board or expansion device.
