Step 4.
Locate your computer’s 168-pin memory expansion DIMM socket.
Step 5.
Insert the DIMM module into the expansion socket as shown in the illustration.
Note how the module is keyed to the socket. You can refer to figure 2-6 for the
details.
This insures the DIMM module
will be plugged into the socket in one way
only
. Firmly press the DIMM module into the DIMM socket, making certain the
module is completely seated in the DIMM socket.
Step 6.
Once the DIMM module has been installed, the installation is complete and the
computer’s cover can be replaced. Or you can continue to install other devices and
add-on cards that are mentioned in the following section.
Note
When you install a DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket, the eject tab should be
locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on the both sides.
You are hard to make different from its outside look between PC100 and PC133 SDRAM
module, the only way you can identify them is to see the sticker on the RAM module. The
sticker will show you the RAM module is which kind structure module.

Connectors, Headers and Switches
Inside the case of any computer several cables and plugs have to be connected. These cables
and plugs are usually connected one-by-one to connectors located on the motherboard. You
need to carefully pay attention to any connection orientation the cables may have and, if any,
notice the position of the first pin of the connector. In the explanations that follow, we will
describe the significance of the first pin.
We will show you all of the connectors, headers and switches here, and tell you how to
connect them. Please pay attention and read the entire section for necessary information
before attempting to finish all of the hardware installation inside the computer chassis.
Figure 2-7 shows you all of the connectors and headers that we’ll discuss in the next section,
you can use this diagram to visually locate each connector and header we describe.
All connectors, headers and switches mentioned here, will depend on your system
configuration. Some features you may (or may not) have and need to connect or configure
depending on the peripheral. If your system doesn't have such add-on cards or switches you
can ignore some special feature connectors.
