Installing an SP
Memory Module Depending on the memory size (in megabytes), the SP memory module can
contain chips on only one side or on both sides.
1. Place the SP and the memory module (DIMM) on a static-free
work surface.
2. On the SP, install the DIMM in the appropriate connector as
shown next.
A memory module has a notch on its edge near pin 1 so that you can
insert it only one way. Install memory modules one at a time, and in
order, starting with connector 1 (refer to Figure 3-17).
