Insert the new memory module in the slot:
a
Align the notch on the gold edge of the module with the notch in the memory slot.
b
Tilt the card and insert the module into the slot. Make sure the module is properly inserted.
c
Push the memory module with moderate pressure into the memory slot until you hear a click.
Important:
You must utilize the same type of memory on all slots. The default memory is non-ECC SO-DIMM DDR4.
If you expand utilizing ECC SO-DIMM DDR4 memory, you must remove the original.
Note:
• Hold the memory module by its edges, and do not touch the gold connectors.
• When memory capacity is changed, the device will perform a memory check upon the next start up. This will
prolong the start up time by up to ten minutes. This behavior is normal and will only occur once.
