(2).
NOTE: Populate the DIMM slots in the following order: DIMM2 (blue) , DIMM4 (blue), DIMM1

NOTE: A memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the notch on the module with
the tab on the memory socket.
8. Push the DIMM module down firmly into the socket, ensuring that the module is fully inserted and
properly seated. The DIMM must be pushed all the way down into the socket and sit evenly in the
socket to avoid memory corruption. Make sure the latches are in the closed position (3).
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 to install any additional modules.
