To install the memory modules, follow these steps:
1. Observe the precautions in “Before You Begin” (see page 21).
2. Holding the memory module by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
3. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the socket.
4. Position the module above the socket. Align the two small notches in the bottom edge of the
module with the keys in the socket.
5. Insert the bottom edge of the module into the socket.
6. When the module is seated, push down on the top edge of the module until the retaining clips
snap into place. Make sure the clips are firmly in place.

sockets.
