Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:
1. Please make sure the computer power is switched off before installing or
removing memory modules.
Installation Steps:
Step 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outwards. Aling a DIMM on the
socket such that the notch on the DIMM exactly match the notch in the socket.
Step 2. Firmly insert the DIMMinto the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place.
Reverse the installation steps if you want to remove the DIMM module.
