Step 2: Installation of Memory

Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is

recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.

2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer

power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.

3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed in

only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.

The motherboard supports DDR memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory

capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one

direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.

into the DIMM socket. Then push it down.
