Installing DIMMs

CAUTION:

Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure

you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure. See

Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.

To install a memory module, complete the following steps:

Align the key slot in the bottom edge of each DIMM with the tab in the

expansion slot. DIMMs will not seat if turned the wrong way.

Figure 3-8. Aligning DIMM in a memory expansion slot

Insert each DIMM straight down into a socket on the system board 1.

As the DIMM goes into the socket, the latches close 2.

Press down firmly on the DIMM while pushing the latches inward until

the latches snap into place.
