1.7.3 Installing a DIMM

Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components.

Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.

To install a DIMM:

1. Press the retaining clips outward to

unlock a DDR3 DIMM socket.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that

the notch on the DIMM matches the

break on the socket.

DDR3 DIMM notch

A DDR3 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one direction. DO NOT force a

DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket

until the retaining clips snap back in place

and the DIMM is properly seated.
