then insert the DIMM vertically into
the socket. Apply force to both ends
of the DIMM simultaneously until the
retaining clips snaps back into place.
Ensure that the DIMM is sitting firmly
on the DIMM slot.

the notch on the DIMM matches the

a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM.
Always insert the DIMM into the socket VERTICALLY to prevent DIMM notch damage.
