Seating the RAM Chips
When the RAM chip seats itself, the
levers at the side should pop into position themselves, “locking”
the memory chip in place (Figure 42).
You shouldn’t need to touch these levers after opening them to
insert the memory.
Figure 42: Pressing the memory into the socket You can use your thumbs to press the memory chip into place. The locking levers will close by themselves.

Examine the memory chip
to be sure it’s fully seated. Sometimes one end of a chip might
seat fully, but the other end doesn’t. If so, just push the non-seated
end in some more.
Your RAM chip is now fully installed
(see Figure 43
and Figure 44).
