1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions.
2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.

WARNING: The memory modules are hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered off. Allow the memory modules to cool before handling them.

NOTE: For proper system cooling, memory module blanks must be installed in any memory socket that is not populated. Remove the memory module blanks only if you intend to install the memory module in these sockets. DIMM blanks are only required when the CPU TDP is equal or greater than 225 W. CPU with TDP less that 225 W do not require DIMM blanks.

Steps

1. Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
2. To release the memory module from the socket, simultaneously press the ejectors on both ends of the memory module socket to fully open.

CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the card edges, ensuring not to touch the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.

1. Lift the memory module away from the system.

2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.

Steps

1. Locate the appropriate memory module socket.

CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the card edges, ensuring not to touch the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.

NOTE: Ensure that the socket ejector latches are fully open before installing the memory module.

1. Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module or the memory module socket during installation, do not bend or flex the memory module. Insert both ends of the memory module simultaneously.

NOTE: The memory module socket has an alignment key that enables you to install the memory module in the socket in only one orientation.

CAUTION: Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at both ends of the memory module evenly.

1. Press the memory module with your thumbs until the ejectors firmly click into place. When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the memory module socket levers align with the levers on the other sockets that have memory modules that are installed.
