How to install Crucial 16GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

• Power down the computer completely and unplug the power cord. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge from damaging sensitive components.
• Open the computer case to access the motherboard and locate an available 288-pin DDR4 DIMM slot. If upgrading, remove existing RAM only after ensuring you have back‑ups and a plan to reinstall.
• Align the memory module with the slot so that the notch on the module matches the key in the slot. This ensures correct orientation and prevents improper seating.
• Gently insert the module straight into the slot, applying even pressure until the retention clips click into place on both ends, securing the DIMM firmly.
• Replace the case cover, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter BIOS/UEFI to confirm the module is detected and that it is running at the rated speed (3200 MHz) if your motherboard and CPU memory controller support it. If needed, enable XMP/DOCP profiles to achieve the advertised speed.
