8. Align and insert the first DIMM.
Holding a DIMM at an angle of about 30 degrees from horizontal, align the
notches on its connector strips with the notches on an empty DIMM slot
(see Figure 18 on page 39).
Insert the DIMM into the DIMM slot, sliding it along the two DIMM
guides until the retaining latches automatically click into place. The latches
should hold the DIMM firmly in place.

Testing DIMM
The switch is unlikely to boot unless the DIMM is correctly installed. If the
switch does boot but you suspect the DIMM is malfunctioning, enter the
command to display the system information shown in Figure 19 on page 40:
SHOW SYSTEM
In the output’s memory section there should be an entry showing the size of
DRAM. If the DRAM size is less than the size of DIMM that has been installed,
then the switch has not correctly detected the DIMM. The most likely cause is
that the DIMM connector is not plugged into its slot correctly. Repeat the
installation process, paying particular attention to the DIMM insertion step.
