Match the notch on the module with the tab on the memory socket. 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 15 for more information. 8. 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). 9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 to install any additional modules. 10. Replace the computer access panel. 11. Reconnect the power cord and any external devices, then turn on the computer.
