WARNING: The memory modules are hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow the memory modules to cool before handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components or metallic contacts on the memory module.
CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, memory module blanks must be installed in any memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory module blanks only if you intend to install memory modules in those sockets.
Steps
1.Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the card edges, making sure not to touch the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.
2.If a memory module or a memory module blank is installed in the socket, remove it.
NOTE: The procedure to remove a memory module blank is similar to the procedure to remove a memory module.
NOTE: Retain the removed memory module blank(s) for future use.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module or the memory module socket during installation, do not bend or flex the memory module; insert both ends of the memory module simultaneously.
3.Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.
NOTE: The memory module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the memory module in the socket in only one orientation.
CAUTION: Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at both ends of the memory module evenly.
4.Press the memory module with your thumbs until the socket levers firmly click into place.
