5Press down on the memory module with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejectors with your index fingers to lock the memory module into the socket.

When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket align with the ejectors on the other sockets that have memory modules installed.

6Repeat step 2 through step 5 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules. See Table 3-1 for valid memory configurations.

7Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 55.

8(Optional) Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check the System Memory setting on the main System Setup screen.

The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly installed memory.

9If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Repeat step 1 through step 8 of this procedure, checking to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets.

10Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 117.
