4. Locate the memory module sockets on the system board. WARNING! To reduce risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching. 5. Open both latches of the memory module socket (1), and insert the memory module into the socket (2). Figure 8-31 Installing a DIMM NOTE: A memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the notch on the module with the tab on the memory socket. A DIMM must occupy the DIMM1 socket. Always populate the blue sockets before the black sockets in each channel. In order to create a dual-channel memory configuration, the memory capacity of Channel A must equal the memory capacity of Channel B. Refer to Populating DIMM Sockets on page 116 for more information. 6. Push the DIMM module down firmly into the socket, ensuring that the module is fully inserted and properly seated. The DIMM must be pushed all the way down into the socket and sit evenly in the socket to avoid memory corruption. Make sure the latches are in the closed position (3). 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to install any additional modules. 118 Chapter 8 Removal and Replacement Procedures Small Form Factor (SFF) Chassis

Installing a DIMM
NOTE:
A memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the notch on the module with
the tab on the memory socket.
A DIMM must occupy the DIMM1 socket. Always populate the blue sockets before the black sockets
in each channel.
In order to create a dual-channel memory configuration, the memory capacity of Channel A must
equal the memory capacity of Channel B. Refer to
Populating DIMM Sockets
on page
116
for more
information.

Push the DIMM module down firmly into the socket, ensuring that the module is fully inserted and
properly seated. The DIMM must be pushed all the way down into the socket and sit evenly in the
socket to avoid memory corruption. Make sure the latches are in the closed position
