2.4.3 Installing a DIMM

Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system

components. Failure to do so can 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.

2.4.4 Removing a DIMM

Follow these steps to remove a DIMM.

1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM.

2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.

• 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.

Support the DIMM lightly with your

fingers when pressing the retaining

clips. The DIMM might get damaged

when it flips out with extra force.
