a. Make sure that both retaining clips on the DIMM connector into which you
are installing the DIMM, are in the open position.
b. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the DIMM
connector on the system board.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, handle the clips gently.
c. Press the DIMM into the DIMM connector. The retaining clips will lock the
DIMM into the connector.
d. Make sure that the small tabs on the retaining clips are in the notches on
the DIMM. If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the
DIMM has not been correctly installed. Press the DIMM firmly into the
connector, and then press the retaining clips toward the DIMM until the
tabs are fully seated. When the DIMM is correctly installed, the retaining
clips are parallel to the sides of the DIMM.
