2-16 Chapter 2: Hardware information

2.4.3 Installing a DIMM

Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other

system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the

motherboard and the components.

To install a DIMM:

1. Press the retaining clips outward

to unlock a DIMM socket.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket

such that the notch on the DIMM

matches the break on the socket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the

socket until the retaining clips

snap back in place and the DIMM

is properly seated.

2.4.4 Removing a DIMM

To remove a DIMM:

1. Simultaneously press the retaining

clips outward to unlock the DIMM.

2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.

• A DDR3 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO

NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

• The DDR3 DIMM sockets do not support DDR and DDR2 DIMMs. DO NOT

install DDR or DDR2 DIMMs to the DDR3 DIMM sockets.
