8. Insert a new module holding it at about a 30° angle and fit the connectors firmly
into the memory socket (see sidebar note if you are inserting a single module).

is seated as far into the slot as it will go. DO NOT FORCE the module; it should fit
without much pressure.
10. Press the module in and down towards the mainboard until the slot levers click into
place to secure the module.
11. Replace the bay cover (note the sidebar note on cover pins) and screws (make
sure you reconnect the fan cable before screwing down the bay cover).
12. Restart the computer to allow the BIOS to register the new memory configuration
as it starts up.
Cover Pins
Note that some models
have cover pins that
need to be aligned with
slots in the case to in-
sure a proper cover fit,
before screwing down
the bay cover.
