1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is recommended that

memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.

2 . Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.

3 . Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.

The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between sockets.
