1.7.3 Installing a DIMM
Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other
system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both
the motherboard and the components.
To install a DIMM:
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by
pressing the retaining clips
outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket
such that the notch on the
DIMM matches the break on
the socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into
the socket until the retaining
clips snap back in place and
the DIMM is properly seated.
1.7.4 Removing a DIMM
Follow these steps to remove a DIMM.
1. Simultaneously press the retaining
clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one
direction. Do not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the
DIMM.
The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO not install
DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.
Unlocked retaining clip
Support the DIMM lightly with
your ngers when pressing
the retaining clips. The DIMM
might get damaged when it
ips out with extra force.
