Installing the Memory
The MBN500 board supports one DDR3 memory socket that can support
up to 8GB memory, DDR3L (w/o ECC function).
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR3L module, locate the memory slot on the board and
perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR3L module so that the key of the DDR3L module
aligns with that on the memory slot. Insert the module into the socket
at a slight angle (approximately 30 degrees). Note that the socket and
module are both keyed, which means that the module can be installed
only in one direction.
2. To seat the memory module into the socket, apply firm and even
pressure to each end of the module until you feel it slip down into the
socket.
3. With the module properly seated in the socket, rotate the module
downward. Continue pressing downward until the clips at each end
lock into position.
4. To remove the DDR3L module, press the clips with both hands.
