Chapter 1: Product introduction

Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. 

Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.

1. 

Press the retaining clips 

outward to unlock a DIMM 

socket.

2. 

Align a DIMM on the socket 

such that the notch on the 

DIMM matches the DIMM 

slot key on the socket.

A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into 

a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM.

3. 

Firmly insert the DIMM into the 

socket until the retaining clips snap 

back in place and the DIMM is 

properly seated.

To remove a DIMM:
1. 

Simultaneously press the retaining 

clips outward to unlock the DIMM.

2. 

Remove the DIMM from the socket.

Support the DIMM lightly with 

your fingers when pressing the 

retaining clips. The DIMM might 

get damaged when it flips out 

with extra force.
