3. Pull the DIMM straight out of the socket.

4. To replace a DIMM, insert the DIMM straight into the socket and close the levers at each side

to lock it into place.

NOTE: The socket is keyed so that the DIMM fits only one way. (See the notches in the

preceding figure.)

Make sure that the entire length of the DIMM (ends and center) is fully seated in the socket

and that the levers close securely around the ends of the DIMM.

5. If you installed a new DIMM, clear the CMOS as follows:

NOTE: You must clear the CMOS after installing a new DIMM to ensure compatibility

between the new component and the previous settings stored in the BIOS. Make sure that the

power cable is removed from the power outlet before clearing the CMOS.

• Remove the battery (see page 84).

• Wait 2 minutes to allow the motherboard electrical components to fully discharge.

• Reinstall the battery.

6. If you installed a new DIMM and cleared the CMOS, make sure to reset the time and date in

Setup (see Configuration and Setup).
