6
Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and
insert the memory module in the socket.
NOTE: The memory module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the memory module in
the socket in only one way.
7
Press down on the memory module with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejectors with your index
fingers to lock the memory module into the socket.
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket
align with the ejectors on the other sockets that have memory modules installed.
8
Repeat step 3 through step 7 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules. See Table 3-1.
9
Replace the memory cooling shroud. See "Replacing the Memory Cooling Shroud" on page 53.
10
Close the system. See "Opening and Closing the System" on page 46.
11
Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check the
System Memory
setting on the main
System Setup
screen.
The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly installed memory.
12
If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Repeat step 1
through step 11 of this procedure, checking to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their
sockets.
13
Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on
page 111.
