Steps
1.
Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the card edges, ensuring not to touch the
middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.
2.
Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module
socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.
CAUTION: Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at both
ends of the memory module evenly.
NOTE: The memory module socket has an alignment key that enables you to install the
memory module in the socket in only one orientation.
3.
Press the memory module with your thumbs until the socket levers firmly click into place.
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the levers on the memory module socket
align with the levers on the other sockets that have memory modules installed.
