Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory
modules.
1. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.
2. Hold two edges of the DIMM module
carefully, keep away of touching its
connectors.
3. Align the notch key on the module with
the rib on the slot.
4. Firmly press the module into the slots
until the ejector tabs at both sides of the
slot automatically snaps into the
mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM
module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one direction.
5. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or
optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are
discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly.
