Step 1. 2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SODIMM slots. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot at both ends fully snap back in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at incorrect orientation. Step 2. The DIMM only fits in place and the DIMM is properly seated. 29
