1.7.3 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.

1.7.4 Removing a DIMM

Follow these steps to remove a DIMM.

1. Simultaneously press the retaining

clips outward to unlock the DIMM.

2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.

• A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one

direction. Do not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the

DIMM.

• The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO not install

DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

Unlocked retaining clip

Support the DIMM lightly with

your ngers when pressing

the retaining clips. The DIMM

might get damaged when it

ips out with extra force.
