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

the motherboard and the components.

To install a DIMM:

Unlock a DIMM socket by

pressing the retaining clips

outward.

Align a DIMM on the socket

such that the notch on the

DIMM matches the break on

the socket.

Firmly insert the DIMM into the

socket until the retaining clips

snap back in place and the

DIMM is properly seated.

Remove the DIMM from the socket.
