Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.

unlock a DDR3 DIMM socket.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that
the notch on the DIMM matches the

DIMM into a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket
until the retaining clips snap back in place
and the DIMM is properly seated.
