Fitting a DIMM
These instructions refer to fitting a DIMM.
N.B. The retention mechanism on the sockets may vary from those
illustrated.
1. Remove the cover (see page 29).
2. Hold the DIMM at a 90° angle to the empty socket with the
notches on the DIMM aligned with the notches on the empty
socket.
Note:
The DIMM has a polarising notch slightly off centre so that it cannot
be fitted incorrectly.

3. Keeping the DIMM at this angle, slide it between the slots at each
end of the DIMM socket. Press the DIMM firmly into the socket,
the retaining clips will ‘click’ into place , securing the DIMM at
each end of the socket. Make sure that both of these clips are in
the vertical position.
4. Replace the cover of the computer and reconnect your system as
shown on the Quick Start Guide.
