Installing memory modules
Before you can install any memory modules, you must remove the
computer unit cover and attach the ESD wrist strap as described in
Chapter 4, “Expanding and maintaining your computer.”
When installing add–on memory modules begin by installing the
memory module in the lowest numbered open bank. Figure 6–2
(earlier in this chapter) shows the numbering scheme for the
memory module connectors. Table 6–2 lists valid configurations.

antistatic shipping bag and packing materials in case you need to
return the module.

antistatic shipping bag.

first temporarily remove any modules installed to the left (Bank 1
or Bank 2), as described in the previous section.

facing down (towarrd the lower locking tab). Position the module at
approximately a 20

edges gently into the connector post.
