how to install Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3L SDRAM Memory Kit
- Power down your computer completely and unplug it from the wall. Ground yourself to discharge static electricity before handling memory modules.
- Open the computer case and locate the motherboard memory slots. Check your motherboard’s documentation to confirm DDR3L support and the recommended memory configuration for dual-channel operation.
- Remove existing modules if you are upgrading. Line up the notch on each Kingston DIMM with the key in the slot, then insert the module straight down into the slot until the latches click into place and hold the module securely.
- Install the two Kingston modules in the recommended dual-channel slots if your motherboard supports dual-channel memory. Ensure each module is firmly seated and locked by both side latches.
- Close the case, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify that the memory is detected as 16GB and running at 1600MHz with CL11 timing. If necessary, enable XMP (if supported by your motherboard) or manually set the memory frequency and timings to the rated values. If the system does not recognize the RAM, reseat the modules or update the motherboard BIOS to the latest version before troubleshooting further.
