• To install two or more DIMMs, refer to the user guide bundled in the motherboard
package.
• Refer to the user guide for the Qualied Vendor List (QVL) of the memory modules.
Always insert the DIMM into the socket vertically to prevent DIMM notch damage.
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into
a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that
the notch on the DIMM matches the
DIMM slot key on the socket.
