Adding Memory The motherboard contains sockets for DDR DIMMs (double data rate dual in-line memory modules). The exact number of sockets depends on which model you have. To determine which type of memory module your PC uses, and for specific memory module information and specifications, go to the Web site listed in your Warranty and Support Guide and click the Support link. 5 Push down the two retaining clips on the ends of the socket until the memory module pops out of the socket. 6 Hold the memory module by its edges only, as you lift it away from the socket. Store it in its antistatic packaging. DDR DIMM WARNING: Using the wrong type of memory module could damage the system. Removing a Memory Module 1 Complete the procedures to prepare the PC and remove the side panel. See "Opening and Closing the PC" on page 1. 2 Gently lay the PC on its side. 3 Locate the memory sockets on the motherboard. CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module. 4 Move any cabling out of the way, if necessary. WARNING: Do not pull the memory module out of the socket. Use the retaining clips to eject the module. Installing a Memory Module Upgrade the memory in your PC with memory of the same type and speed as the memory originally installed in your PC. CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module. 1 Open both latches of the memory module socket. See "Removing a Memory Module" on page 16. • If you are replacing a memory module, put the new memory module in the same memory slot from which the old memory was removed. Or • If you are adding a memory module, install the new module into the socket nearest the preinstalled module, and install additional modules in the next available sockets. 2 Hold the new memory module by its edges only as you remove it from the antistatic packaging. (Avoid touching the memory chips or the gold contacts on the module.) 16 Upgrading and Servicing Guide
