Setup and Installation
Installing RAM is a straightforward process, but requires careful handling. Always refer to your computer's specific service manual for detailed instructions on accessing and installing memory modules, as procedures may vary slightly between models.
- Preparation: Power off your computer completely and unplug all cables (power, monitor, peripherals).
- Access: Open your computer case to access the motherboard and RAM slots. Consult your computer's manual for instructions on how to safely open the case.
- Static Discharge: Before touching any internal components, touch a grounded metal object (e.g., the metal frame of your computer case) to discharge any static electricity from your body.
- Locate Slots: Identify the DIMM memory slots on your motherboard. Your computer may have two or four slots.
- Install Modules: Gently align the notch on the A-Tech RAM module with the key in the memory slot. Press down firmly and evenly on both ends of the module until the retaining clips on the sides snap into place, securing the module.
- Verify: Ensure both modules are fully seated and the clips are locked.
- Reassemble: Close your computer case and reconnect all cables.
- Power On: Power on your computer. The system should automatically detect the new memory. You can verify the installed RAM in your operating system's system information.

Maintenance
RAM modules generally require minimal maintenance. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Keep Clean: Periodically clean the interior of your computer case to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and lead to overheating. Use compressed air to gently remove dust from around the RAM modules and slots.
- Handle with Care: When handling RAM, always hold it by the edges to avoid touching the gold contacts or the chips, as oils and static electricity can cause damage.
- Proper Environment: Ensure your computer operates in a well-ventilated area to maintain optimal temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing your A-Tech RAM, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Display/Beep Codes: If your computer does not display anything or emits a series of beeps after installation, it may indicate that the RAM is not properly seated. Power off, unplug, and re-seat the memory modules firmly into their slots.
- System Instability/Crashes: If your system becomes unstable or crashes frequently, ensure the RAM is compatible with your motherboard and CPU. Double-check that the modules are correctly installed.
- Incorrect RAM Detected: If your operating system reports less RAM than installed, ensure all modules are properly seated. Sometimes, a BIOS update for your motherboard may be required to fully recognize new memory.
- Test Modules Individually: If you have multiple modules, try installing them one at a time to identify if a specific module is faulty.
