Hold the memory module by its edges. Don't touch the gold contacts with your fingers. If you do, wipe the contacts with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove any finger oils.

Orient the module with the label facing down and align the gold contacts and notch with the socket.

Insert the contact edge into the socket at a shallow angle. The gold contacts should mostly be covered by the socket.

The module fits into the socket in one orientation. If it doesn't feel like it fits, try flipping the module.

Press the edges of the memory module down until the side clips lock it in place.

If you need to remove or reposition the memory module, use your fingers to spread both clips apart to release the memory.
