Press down firmly and evenly on both ends of the module until it clicks into place. Ensure the side clips lock onto the module, securing it firmly.

Reassembling and Testing

Replace the side panel and tighten screws securely. Reconnect all cables and power on your device. Enter the BIOS or system settings to verify that the new RAM is recognized.

Once booted into your operating system, check the system properties or use diagnostic tools to confirm the total installed RAM matches the expected capacity of your RAM 2026 modules.
