4. Gently pull the two release latches ( & ) on the sides of the memory socket in the direction indicated by the
arrows (Figure 6a).
5. The RAM module(s) will pop-up
(Figure 6b), and you can then remove it.
6. Pull the latches to release the second module if necessary.
7. Insert a new module holding it at about a 30° angle and fit the connectors firmly into the memory slot.

will go. DO NOT FORCE the module; it should fit without much pressure.
9. Press the module down towards the mainboard until the slot levers click into place to secure the module.
10. Replace the memory socket cover and the screws (see page 2 - 9).
11. Restart the computer to allow the BIOS to register the new memory configuration as it starts up.
