a. If you are installing a DIMM in connector 1,
remove the AGP adapter.
Remove the AGP adapter only if you are replacing
the DIMM in connector 1. See "System and PCI

for the location of the AGP slot. See "Installing an
adapter" on page 51 for details about removing
the AGP adapter.
b. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM
slot. Turn the DIMM so that the pins align correctly
with the connector.

or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and
close the clips gently.
c. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the
DIMM edges with the slots at each end of the
DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight

both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. Be sure
that the retaining clips snap into the locked
position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the
connector.

retaining clips, the DIMM has not been properly
installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and
remove the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM.

see "Installing an adapter" on page 51.

fan cable connector.
9. Replace the side cover, see "Installing the cover" on
