2.4.3 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.

DDR2 DIMM notch

・ A DDR2 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 DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO NOT install

DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

2.4.4 Removing a DIMM

To remove a DIMM:
1. Simultaneously press the retaining

clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
