8Align the memory module's edge connector 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 way.

9Press down on the memory module with your thumbs until the socket levers latch into a locked position.

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

10Repeat step 6 through step 9 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules. See Table 3-1 or Table 3-2.

11Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on page 93.

12Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 91.

13Place the system upright and on its feet on a flat, stable surface.

14Rotate the system feet outward.

15Reattach any peripherals and connect the system to an electrical outlet.

16Turn on the system and attached peripherals.

17Press <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.

18If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Repeat step 6 through step 9 of this procedure, checking to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets.

19Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 173.
