Installing a memory module

Upgrade the memory in your computer with memory modules of the same type and speed

as the memory modules originally installed in your computer.

1 Open both retaining clips of the memory module socket:

If you are replacing an existing memory module, install the new memory module in the

same memory slot from which you removed one.

If you are adding a memory module, note that for this dual-channel configuration, the

total capacity (size) of the memory modules in the (A) channel slots must match the

capacity of the modules in the (B) channel slots. Install the new modules so that the

two channels match.

WARNING: Do not pull the memory module out of the memory socket. Use the

retaining clips to remove the module.

CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of

the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.

WARNING: If the module has extended heatsink fins, do not grip the module

by the fins.
