NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the memory module connector, do not use tools to spread the memory-
module securing clips.
4 If you are replacing a memory module, remove the existing module:
a
Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the securing clips on each end of the memory
module connector until the module pops up.
b
Remove the module from the connector.
NOTICE:
If you need to install memory modules in two connectors, install a memory module in the
connector labeled “DIMM A” before you install a module in the connector labeled “DIMM B.” Insert
memory modules at a 45-degree angle to avoid damaging the connector.
NOTE:
If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer may not boot properly. No error
message indicates this failure.
5 Ground yourself and install the new memory module:
a
Align the notch in the module edge connector with the tab in the connector slot.
b
Slide the module firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and rotate the module down
until it clicks into place. If you do not feel the click, remove the module and reinstall it.
