- 1). Turn off your computer and then remove the power plug from the rear of the case.
- 2). Place an antistatic wrist strap around your wrist. Clip the other end of the strap to a metal object to ground yourself, preventing static electrical discharges from your body from damaging the internal computer components.
- 3). Open the computer case by removing the case cover. Locate the two screws at the rear of the case holding your cover in place. Remove the screws and then pull the case cover back about 1-inch from the front case panel. Lift the cover free to access the case interior.
- 4). Locate the memory slots on the motherboard with the aid of the computer motherboard or manufacturer's instructions. Each slot should have two small clips on either end that lock RAM modules into place once installed.
- 5). Pull the small locking clips outwards, away from the RAM slot. Align the notch on the bottom of the first DDR SDRAM module with the notch in the center of the RAM slot. Slip the module into the slot until firmly seated in place. Press the clips on the sides of the slot inwards, until they lie within the slots on the sides of the RAM modules, locking the Ram into place. Repeat the installation process for the second DDR SDRAM module of differing latency.
- 6). Replace the cover to your case, and then plug the power cable back into the power supply. Turn on the case and wait for the system to boot up. The system POST, the checks the computer makes prior to the start of the operating system, will show the total memory present in your system and include the two installed RAM chips in the memory amount display.
