Dell PowerEdge R430 Owner's Manual

Installing memory modules

1. Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
2. Open the ejectors on the memory module socket outward to allow the memory module to be inserted into the socket.
3. Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.
   CAUTION Do not apply pressure at the center of the memory module; apply pressure at both ends of the memory module evenly.

   NOTE The memory module socket has an alignment key that enables you to install the memory module in the socket in only one orientation.
4. Press the memory module with your thumbs until the socket levers firmly click into place.
   When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the levers on the memory module socket align with the levers on the other sockets that have memory modules installed.
