How to Install RAM on Your PC

Instructions for Installing RAM

To remove and install RAM, you'll need to first open your computer's case to access its internal components.















Removal
You can locate the RAM inside because they look like long, thin sticks. 
  • Once located, you'll need to unlatch them from the slots on the motherboard by unhooking the white clips on both sides of the RAM. Refer to the picture above.
  • Remove the RAM by grabbing the sticks on their outside edges. You don't want your fingers to touch the chips on the sides of the RAM.
Installation: To install, hold the RAM sticks on their outside edges.
  • Make sure the white clips are pulled back and away so they are not upright. This means they are in the unlatch position.
  • Gently slide the RAM into their correct slots. Once seated, push down on one side of the RAM stick, then the other side. You'll hear a click each time indicating that the RAM is snugly in place.
  • Attach the white clips in place to securely latch the RAM down.
