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. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing

the retaining clips outward.

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.

Support the DIMM lightly with
