Note: Place your forefingers on the top of the DIMM before pressing the holding clips to gently disengage the DIMM from the socket.
Installing a DIMM
Before you can install a new DIMM in a socket, remove first any previously installed DIMM from that socket.
1Locate the DIMM socket on the mainboard.
2Open the clips on the socket.
3Align then insert the DIMM into the socket (a).
4Press the holding clips inward to lock the DIMM in place (b).
Note: The DIMM socket is slotted to ensure proper installation. If you insert a DIMM but it does not fit easily into the socket, you may have inserted incorrectly. Reverse the orientation of the DIMM and insert it again.
Reconfiguring your system memory
The system automatically detects the amount of memory installed. Run the BIOS Setup utility to view the new value for total system memory and make a note of it.
