Memory Cards
3. Position the memory slots so they face you as shown in Figure 5-45.
Note that Figure 5-45 also provides the loading sequence for the
DIMM cards. This loading sequence must be maintained when you
install the DIMM cards, but the size of the DIMM card put in each
slot can vary. For example, you can install a 128Mbyte card before a
256Mbyte card and then follow the installation of the 256Mbyte card
with another 128Mbyte card. The B1000 and C3000 computers use
only 128 Mbyte and 256 Mbyte DIMM cards.
4. Remove the hard disk drive fan as explained in the section “Removing
the Fan from the Hard Disk Drive Area” in this chapter, and load the
DIMM cards in the slots using the loading sequence provided in
Figure 5-45.

NOTE When installing memory, you need to orient the notches on the bottom
edge of the DIMM card so that they are aligned with the keys on the
DIMM connector. See Figure 5-46. The keyed DIMM connectors prevent
you from installing the DIMM cards backwards.
