Removal and Replacement Procedures

Do not mix ECC and non-ECC DIMMs. If different types of DIMMs are mixed, the system will not properly function.

A DIMM will only fit one way in the socket. Be sure to match the two key slots in the DIMM with the tabs in the DIMM socket. Push the memory module into the DIMM socket, ensuring that it is fully inserted and properly seated.
