Position the RIMM or C-RIMM above the connector so that the two notches on the bottom edge of the module align properly with the empty connector. Note: Pay attention to the orientation of the notches on the connectors and RIMMs. Adjacent connectors might not have the same orientation on the memory card. 3. Firmly push the module straight down into the connector until the retaining clips pop up and fit snugly around both ends of the module. Notches 4. Place the memory card back in the slot on the system board and reattach the power and hard disk drive fan cables to the connectors on the memory card. 5. Release the adapter guide latch on the front fan. 6. Go to the device-record form in Appendix C, "Computer records" on page 143 and record this installation. 68 IntelliStation Z Pro User Guide
