Inserting the RAM Chips
Fully open the locking levers of
the RAM socket (Figure 40).
Each bank will have a lever at each side. Push the lever gently away
from the RAM socket and down until it is fully open.

Now, pick up the RAM chip
and place it over the RAM socket. Be sure that it’s aligned in
the proper direction (see Figure 41).
Press the chip straight down into the socket. If it sticks, you might
find it useful to allow one side of the RAM chip to enter first, but
try to keep the chip as nearly level as possible as you push it into
place.
