X Memory Module Installation
Figure 3-4 below displays the notch marks as they should look on your DIMM memory modules.
DDR2 DIMMs have 240-pins and one notch that will match with the onboard DIMM sockets. DIMM
modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight
down (Figure 3-4) until it fits tightly into the DIMM socket.

X Installing a DIMM
X Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:
1) To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground yourself by touching a
grounded metal surface or using a ground strap before you touch the DIMM.
2) Do not touch the connectors of the DIMM. Dirt or other residue may cause a malfunction.
3) Hold the DIMM with its notch aligned with the memory socket of the KUBE-8020 and insert it
completely into the socket. Lift the locking tabs at each end of the DIMM socket to lock it in
position.

4) If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same procedure as above.
5) If the DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out and try again.
6) Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both sides of the socket.
X Removing a DIMM:
To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to carefully push away the plastic tabs that
secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it out of the socket.
Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag. The socket must be populated with memory
modules of the same size and manufacturer.
