2.2 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install components into the system.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
The motherboard comes with an onboard standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-off mode, and not powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet and make sure that the standby power LED is OFF before installing any system component.

Chapter 2: Basic installation |
2.7.4 Installing a DIMM
•Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing
DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.
•Reinstall the CPU fan and heatsink assembly before installing the DIMM(s) to avoid damaging the retaining clips of the DIMM sockets. Refer to the previous section for details on how to reinstall the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
To install a DIMM:
1.Locate the DIMM sockets in the motherboard.
2.Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
3.Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.

4.Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
