How to install EDGE 8GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module
- Power down the computer and unplug from power; discharge static electricity by touching a grounded metal surface to protect the components.
- Open the case or access panel to expose the memory slots; identify whether your system uses DIMM slots (desktops) or SODIMM slots (laptops and compact PCs).
- Handle the memory by the edges, avoiding contact with the gold contacts; align the notch on the module with the slot key to ensure proper orientation.
- Insert the module at a slight angle (about 45 degrees) and then press down evenly until the side latches click into place, securing the module firmly.
- Close the case, reconnect power, and boot the system; enter BIOS or the operating system to confirm the 8GB is recognized. If you’re installing a second module, seat it in the remaining slot(s) to enable dual-channel operation if the motherboard supports it.
