Installing System Memory

• Please see instruction on cover removal Removing the Case Cover

The motherboard now uses the new Q-DIMM sockets making insertion and removal of DIMMs easier. These sockets have a maneuverable clip on only one side, with the other side having a stationary clip.

To install a RAM module (DIMM):

1. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notches on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.

2. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap into place and the DIMM is properly seated when a click is heard.

• A DDR4 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction.  To avoid damaging the DIMM, do not force a DIMM into a socket .

• The DDR4 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. Do not install DDR DIMMs into the DDR3 DIMM sockets.

• It is not necessary to enter the setup after changing the memory Temporary storage for information, including applications and documents. The information must be stored to a permanent device, such as a hard disc or CD-ROM before the power is turned off, or the information will be lost. Computer memory is measured in terms of the amount of information it can store, commonly in megabytes or gigabytes. configuration, the system automatically detects the new configuration.

• Disconnect the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components in order to not cause damage to the motherboard and the components.
