How to assemble memory into the mainboard of a computer

In a computer, memory (RAM) is a temporary data storage device for the CPU to process. RAM has many standards with different types of pins, each standard of RAM is only compatible with the same standard slot on the motherboard. In addition, to avoid the case of plugging in the direction, RAM and slots are designed with slots/slots lying to one side.

Here are the steps to assemble the memory (RAM) into the Mainboard

Check the position of the pins between RAM and Mainboard must match.

If the Mainboard supports dual RAM (Dual Chanel), install two RAM sticks in place of two slots of the same color.

1. Remove the RAM by pushing the two locks of the slot to the sides, the RAM stick will emerge by itself.
2. The RAM must be assembled tightly and in the correct direction with the slot. 
3. After turning on the switch, if the machine does not work and has a persistent beep sound, it may be because the RAM is damaged or installed incorrectly. Please check and reinstall the RAM.
