6. Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.

7. Press down on the memory module with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejectors with your index fingers to lock the memory module into the socket.
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket align with the ejectors on the other sockets that
have memory modules installed.

NOTE: The memory module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the memory module in the socket in only one way.
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. See
your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION: The memory modules are hot to the touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules
to cool before handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components on the memory module.
