1.6 Installing the Memory
Side notch
Key
Latch knob
Latch claw Latch section
Latch arm
Polarizing key
To install the Memory module, locate the Memory SO-DIMM slot on the board
and perform as below:
1. Adjust the socket polarizing key and the board key to the same direction.
2. Insert the board obliquely. Moreover, lay the board in parallel to the opening
at angle of 20oto 30o, and softly insert the board so as to hit the socket
bottom. Stopping insertion halfway will result in improper insertion.
3. Applying the board side notch in parallel to the socket bottom so that the
board position cannot be displaced, press the board side notch up, and x
it to the latch portion at both socket edges. Press the board side notch, and
release the notch with a snap “click” tone, if the printed board exceeds the
latch claw head.

Procedures for board extraction
Apply the thumb nail to the latch knob at both socket edges. Forcibly widen
the latch knobs to right and left ways, and release the latch. Then draw the
board out along an angle where the board is raised.
