1. Align the memory module's edge connector with the slot in the center of the memory module socket. The memory module is keyed, or
designed to fit into the socket in only one direction. The slot on the system board is notched so that the memory module can be firmly seated
only one way.
2. With the module at a 45-degree angle, press the memory module's edge connector firmly into the memory module socket.
3. Pivot the memory module down until it clicks into place.
If you do not hear a click as each end of the memory module snaps into the tabs, remove the memory module and reinstall it.
