Getting Started
Adding memory (optional)
13 Pick up the memory module by its sides, avoiding any
contact with its connector. Position the module toward
the socket, aligning the connectors notch with the
matching key in the socket.

14 Firmly press the memory module into the memory slot’s
socket at approximately a 30-degree angle (to the
horizontal surface of the computer).

15 Once the modules connector is fully inserted into the
socket, press downward on the top edge of the module
to seat the module into the latches at the sides of the
socket. These latches should “snap” into place securely
with the corresponding cutouts in the side of the
module. If the latches and cutouts do not line up
correctly, repeat steps 14-15.
