Replacing a Memory Module
DIMM A
The DIMM A socket is the one closest to the system board. If a memory module is installed in the DIMM B socket, it must be removed before a memory module
in the DIMM A socket can be replaced.
1. Ground yourself by touching a bare-metal part in the computer chassis.
2. Remove the memory module from its anti-static packaging and, grasping the module at the side edges, align the slot in the module edge connector with
the key in the DIMM A socket connector.
3. Slide the memory module into the socket connector at a 30-degree angle to the system board until it is fully seated.
4. Push the long edge of the memory module down until retaining clips lock the module into place.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the memory module connector, do not use tools to spread the memory-module retaining clips.
NOTE: If the memory module is not installed properly, the retaining clips will not hold the module securely and the computer may not boot properly. No
error message indicates this failure.
