Installing a DIMM

To install a DIMM:

  1. Locate the appropriate memory socket.

    Caution- Handle each DIMM only by the card edges, ensuring not to touch the middle of the DIMM or metallic contacts.

    Caution - To prevent damage to the DIMM or the memory socket during installation, do not bend or flex the DIMM. You must insert both ends of the DIMM simultaneously.

  2. Open the ejectors on the memory socket outward to allow the DIMM to be inserted into the socket.

  3. Align the edge connector of the DIMM with the alignment key of the memory socket, and insert the DIMM in the socket.

    Caution - Do not apply pressure at the center of the DIMM; apply pressure at both ends of the DIMM evenly.

    Note - The memory socket has an alignment key that enables you to install the DIMM in the socket in only one orientation.

  4. Press the DIMM with your thumbs until the socket levers firmly click into place.
