Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs
or other system components. Failure to do so may 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.
2.4.4 Removing a DIMM
To remove a DIMM:
1. Simultaneously press the retaining
clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
• A FB-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 sockets do not support DDR/DDR2 DIMMs. DO NOT install DDR/
DDR2 DIMMs to the FB-DIMM sockets.
Support the DIMM lightly
with your fingers when
pressing the retaining
clips. The DIMM might get
damaged when it ips out
with extra force.
