To release a module, pull out on the two retaining clips.

The module will pop up to a 30°-45° angle.

Lift the module out of the socket.

replacing the memory modules

To install an SO-DIMM module, follow these steps:

All SO-DIMM modules have a registration notch on the bottom edge.

The notch aligns with a key in the socket.

Note: Each SO-DIMM type has a different notch position. Incompatible modules cannot be installed in the memory socket.

Position the SO-DIMM at a 30º‑45º angle, then match the notch on the DIMM with the key on the socket.

Carefully push the module into the socket until its connectors (golden fingers) are firmly inserted in the socket.

Press the SO-DIMM firmly until the SO-DIMM socket retaining clips snap back and secure the memory module in place.
