To Remove: Use your thumbs to gently push each release tab outward to free the DIMM from the slot.

Note the notch in the slot and on the bottom of the DIMM. These prevent the DIMM from being installed incorrectly.

2.Install to slots CPU1/DIMM1B and CPU1/DIMM1A first, then to CPU1/DIMM2B and CPU1/DIMM2A, etc. Always install in pairs and in the numerical order of the DIMM slots. See "Support" information below.

3.Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.

4.With two CPUs installed, repeat step 2 to populate the CPU2 DIMM slots.
