Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.

Follow these steps to install a DIMM.

1.Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.

2.Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notches on the DIMM match the breaks on the socket.

3.Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
