2.4.4

Installing a DIMM

Make sure 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.

To install a DIMM:

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing

the retaining clips outward.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket

such that the notch on the DIMM

matches the break on the socket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the

socket until the retaining clips

snap back in place and the DIMM

is properly seated.

2.4.5

Removing a DIMM

To remove a DIMM:

1. Simultaneously press the retaining

clips outward to unlock the DIMM.

2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.

• A FB-DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. Do not

force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

• The sockets do not support DDR/DDR2 DIMMs. DO NOT install DDR/

DDR2 DIMMs to the FB-DIMM sockets.

Support the DIMM lightly with

your fingers when pressing

the retaining clips. The DIMM

might get damaged when it

flips out with extra force.
