Installing Memory Modules

1 Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the memory module

socket. See Figure 3-17.

2 Align the memory module correctly with the alignment key of the memory

module socket. See Figure 3-17.

3 Press down firmly on the memory module with your thumbs until the

module snaps into place. See Figure 3-17.

CAUTION:

Even pressure during insertion must be applied at both ends of the

module simultaneously to prevent damage to the socket. No pressure should be
applied to the center of the module.

Complete the latching of the module into the socket by applying inward

pressure to the socket ejectors to assure that the ejectors are in a locked

position. When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the

ejectors on the memory module socket align with the ejectors on other

identical sockets that have memory modules installed.
