How to install RAM ??

Step 1: Prepare your computer

To get your computer ready, you need to make it safe. That means turning off the switch on the back of the power supply unit. After turning off the power supply, wait at least 10 seconds before cracking open your case to allow the motherboard's capacitors to discharge. Now open up your case, this process varies from case to case and usually involves the removal of a couple of screws. This should give you easy access and plenty of room to install your RAM.

Step 2: Find and prepare an empty RAM socket

The DIMM's slots are the 4 black slots circled in blue in the lower right-hand portion of the motherboard. Just locate the RAM sockets on your motherboard and find an empty one. If you've never installed RAM in your computer, you should have at least one or two empty slots. When you're choosing the socket in which to install your RAM, again you should consult your manual to fill the sockets in a particular order. Next, the RAM retaining clips need to be opened up in order for RAM to be installed. All you need to do is press the retaining clips outward, opening the socket for installation.

Step 3: Install your RAM

Now pick up your stick of RAM by the edges but not to get your Finger all over the working parts of the memory itself. The RAM should be slotted so that it can fit in the socket only one way, so just line up the slotted RAM with your motherboard’s RAM socket. Press the RAM until it is seated securely in the socket. If your socket has retaining clips, press down until the clips snap back into place. After this your RAM should be properly seated and installed.
