  2. 1. Identify the Motherboard • Check motherboard user manual. • If manual not available, look for your motherboard, then google search for the manual. here

  3. 2. Identify supported RAM type • At your motherboard user manual, read the system memory section, and find out the supported memory type. • Example: • You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR 2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. • This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double sided * 16 memory modules.

  4. 2. Identify supported RAM type • A easy way is find the qualified RAM vendors lists in your motherboard user manual.

  5. 3. Identify the RAM you have • Read the RAM user manual. • If manual not available, identify the Ram type by shape. More on next page. • Make sure your new RAM is compatible with the motherboard.

  6. 3. Identify the RAM you have DDR 2: 240pin DDR 3: 240pin

  7. 3. Identify the RAM you have • Note: a DDR2 RAM has the same physical dimensions as a DDR RAM but they have different pins. • Do not install DDR RAM to a DDR2 RAM socket.

  8. 4. Identify memory module location on your motherboard • For example: • DIMM = dual in-line memory module

  9. 4. Identify memory module location on your motherboard • Note: Unplug the power supply before adding or removing the RAM. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the RAM.

  10. 5. Removing a RAM • Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the RAM. • Remove the RAM from the socket.

  11. 5. Removing a RAM • Note: Support the RAM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The RAM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.

  12. 6. Installing a RAM • Unlock a RAM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.

  13. 6. Installing a RAM • Align a RAM on the socket such that the notch on the RAM matches the break on the socket.

  14. 6. Installing a RAM • Firmly insert the RAM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the RAM is properly seated.

  15. 7. Testing and Configuring Newly Installed RAM • Power on the system, the memory self-test should increment up to the newly installed amount of memory. • If it instead shows only the original amount of memory, the cause is that you have not seated the new RAM completely. Power down, reseat the RAM, and try again.
