Installing & Removing DIMMs
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory
slots, starting with DIMM1A. When populating multiple
DIMM modules within a channel, always start with
Bank1 rst. (For best performance, please use the
memory modules of the same type and same speed
in the same bank.)
2. Press down the release tabs on the ends of a
memory slot. Insert each DIMM module vertically into
its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom
of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module
incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps
into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules.
4. Reverse the steps above to remove the DIMM mod-
ules from the motherboard.
