3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket
until the retaining clips snap back in
place and the DIMM is properly seated.
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into
a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM.
Support the DIMM lightly with your
fingers when pressing the retaining
clip. The DIMM might get damaged
when it flips out with extra force.
Ensure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system
components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the
components.
