how to install Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR5 SDRAM Memory Kit

• Power down and unplug: Turn off your PC and unplug the power cord. Disconnect peripherals to prevent static discharge or accidental shorts.
• Ground yourself and prepare the workspace: Touch a grounded metal surface or use an anti-static wrist strap to discharge static electricity before handling memory.
• Open the case and locate memory slots: Remove the side panel of your computer case to access the motherboard. Identify the DIMM slots closest together, typically colored to indicate dual-channel pairing.
• Align and insert the modules: Hold each 8GB DDR5 module by the edges and align the notch on the module with the key in the memory slot. Gently but firmly press straight down until the module clicks into place on both sides of the slot. Do not angle the module.
• Seat and test: Repeat for the second module if installing both. Reattach the case panel, plug in, and power on. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify the memory is detected at the correct size. If your motherboard supports XMP, enable the profile for automatic speed tuning.
• Boot and verify stability: Allow the system to boot normally. Run a quick memory test or stress test to confirm stability, and check that the operating system recognizes the full 16GB capacity.
