1-4-2 Installing a Memory

Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the

power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. DDR3 and DDR2

DIMMs are not compatible to each other or DDR DIMMs. Be sure to install DDR3 DIMMs on

this motherboard.

DDR3 DIMM

A DDR3 memory module has a notch, so it can only fit in one direction. Follow the steps below to correctly install

your memory modules in the memory sockets.

Step 1:

Note the orientation of the memory module. Spread the retaining clips

at both ends of the memory socket. Place the memory module on the

socket. As indicated in the picture on the left, place your fingers on

the top edge of the memory, push down on the memory and insert it

vertically into the memory socket.

Step 2:

The clips at both ends of the socket will snap into place when the

memory module is securely inserted.
