3.5.2 DIMM Installation
Insert the module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either
side of the breaks, the module will only fit in the orientation shown. DIMMs are
longer and have different pin contact on each side and therefore have a higher pin
density. SIMMs have the same pin contact on both sides.
