Installing DIMMs

! CAUTIONS

Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too much pressure can damage the socket slot. DIMMs are keyed and can be inserted in only one way.

Mixing dissimilar metals may cause failures. Install DIMMs with gold-lead alloy plated edge connectors only in gold-lead alloy plated sockets.

See Figures 6-2 and 6-3.

1.Observe the warnings and cautions on page 3, “Safety Guidelines.”

2.Remove the left side cover and memory module as described in Chapter 4, "Working Inside Your System."

3.Hold the module only by its edges, being careful not to touch its components or gold edge connectors, and place it processor-side up on an antistatic surface.

4.Remove a DIMM from its antistatic package by holding the DIMM only by its edges.

5.Beginning with bank 0 (Figure 6-2), socket J1, orient the DIMM so that the two notches in the bottom edge of it align with the keyed DIMM socket.

6.Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into socket J1, and press down firmly on the DIMM until it seats correctly (Figure 6-3).
