4. Screw the captive nuts into the attach mount bridges.

WARNING!

Do not overtighten the captive nut. Doing so could damage your

motherboard. Tighten captive nuts to no more than 6±1inch/pound.

5. With the ejectors of the DIMM socket (J1M1/J1M2) in the open position and

while holding the riser along its edges, push down gently but firmly on one side
of the memory module until it snaps into place and then do the same on the other
side. The guides on the socket’s ejectors should go through the two mounting
notches on the module and the ejectors should close. If necessary, push the ejec-
tors inward to secure the module in place.

IMPORTANT:

When populating both DIMM sockets, the module density on J1M2

must be greater than the one on J1M1. For example, if you are installing a 64MB
memory on J1M1, you must install memory greater than or equal to 64MB on J1M2.

Removing Memory from the Riser
1. To release a memory module, push both ejectors (J1M1/J1M2) outward while

holding the module along its side edges. Pull the module straight up and out of
the DIMM sockets on the riser.
