Introduction

Updated memory module/RAM installation prereq guide

What you need

1. Step 1 Install the memory module
  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.
  
  Align the notch on the memory module with the ridge in the socket.
  
  Insert the contact edge into the socket at a shallow angle. The gold contacts should mostly be covered by the socket.
  
  Intel Core Series 3 Mainboards have the RAM flipped compared to these images. The shorter side of connectors will be on the left.
  
  Press the edges of the memory module down until the side clips lock it in place.
