Installing a DIMM
To install a DIMM:
-
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.
-
Open the ejectors on the memory socket outward to allow the DIMM to be inserted into the socket.
-
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.
-
Press the DIMM with your thumbs until the socket levers firmly click into place.
