To install a memory module in a system,
complete the following steps:
Procedure
Ensure
that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and
that the ESD clip is connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not,
do so now.
Look for the slot in
which the memory modules is
to be placed that you have identified.
If the slot you want to use contains a
filler, remove the filler from the slot.
Note: The memory module slots must contain
either a memory module or
a filler to ensure proper cooling.
To
remove the memory module filler,
complete the following steps:
To
unlock the memory module filler
from its connector in the slot, push the locking tabs (A) in
the direction that is shown in Figure 7. The lever action of the tabs forces the memory module filler out of
the connector.
Hold the memory module filler by the
edges and pull it out of the system.
Retain
the removed memory module filler
so that you can use it to fill up an empty slot, if required.
Grasp the new memory module along its edges
and align it with the slot.
Attention:Memory modules are keyed
to prevent a memory module from
being installed incorrectly. Note the location of the key tab within
the memory module connector
before you attempt to install the memory module.
Press the
memory module firmly into the slot until the locking tab (A) locks
in place. See Figure 2.
