Installing a DDR3 SO-DIMM
Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing
SO-DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.
1. Unlock a SO-DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on
the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.
2. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and
the DIMM.
z
A DDR3 SO-DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one
direction. DO NOT force a SO-DIMM into a socket to avoid
damaging the SO-DIMM.
z
The DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets do not support DDR2 SO-DIMMs.
DO NOT install DDR2 SO-DIMMs to the DDR3 SO-DIMM socket.
