Press the memory module down gently but firmly, so that it slides into
the socket and the spring clips engage.
Close the PC, restore it to its normal place, and then reconnect the cables.
While your PC is open, you might want to give it a quick spring clean??”especially if the fan is as
dusty as the fan in the sample PC is.

tip
10 Part I: Easy
Press out with a thumb or finger on each of the spring clips at the ends
of the socket. (If the space is confined enough to make using your hands
awkward, use the eraser ends of a couple of eraser-tipped pencils.) When
the clips release, they push the memory module up and out.
Remove the module using your fingers, and then put it on the bag or
sheet of paper.
