To install a new memory module, follow the following steps.
Step 1
Flip the plastic clips at each side of the DIMM slot
outward before installing the memory module.
Step 2
Hold the memory module with both hands and insert
it vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until
the golden finger on the memory module is deeply
inserted in the DIMM slot (The golden finger can
barely be seen if the memory module is properly
inserted in the DIMM slot).
NOTE
The memory module has only one notch in the center
and will only fit in the right orientation.
Step 3
The plastic clips at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is inserted, but
make sure the plastic clips have completely closed and locked in place.
NOTE
1) DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR memory modules and they are not backwards
compatible. You should always install DDR2 memory modules in DDR2 DIMM slots.
2) To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1 slot first.
