Steps
1. Locate the appropriate memory module socket. If installed, remove the memory module or memory module blank.
NOTE:
The procedure to remove a memory module blank is similar to the procedure to remove a memory module.
Retain the removed memory module blank for future use.
CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the edges, ensuring not to touch the middle of the memory module
or metallic contacts.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module or the memory module socket during installation, do not bend
or flex the memory module. You must insert both ends of the memory module simultaneously.
2. Open the ejectors on the memory module socket outward to enable the memory module to be inserted into the socket.
3. Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and insert the memory module
in the socket.
CAUTION:
Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at both ends of the memory
module evenly.
NOTE: The memory module socket has an alignment key that enables you to install the memory module in the socket
in only one orientation.
4. Press the memory module with your thumbs until the ejectors firmly click into place.
