Dual 
channel DDR 
memory is very simple to install. DDR memory modules (like SDRAM modules also) 
are keyed so that they will only fit into the motherboard one way.

    Once certain of the orientation of     the memory, open the levers on either side of 
the RAM slot and push the stick of RAM straight down into the slot until both levers 
snap closed on either side of it. This will require some force, but not excessive 
amounts of pushing.
 
 If it does not seem to be going in with a moderate amount of 
force, remove the chip and re-insert it, making sure that it is exactly lined up 
with the slots.
 

 Connecting the motherboard.
 One of 
the virtues of SFF PC cases like the Aopen XCube is that they come with all the 
motherboard connectors already properly attached, so there is very little 
configuration to do. If your case does not come with a pre-installed motherboard 
like the one we use here, you will need to attach the ATX power cord to the 
motherboard and properly attach the case connectors (the cables that connect the 
power switch, reset button, LEDs, etc. on the case to the motherboard). Consult 
your motherboard manual for instructions on this, or see this Beginners Guide on the subject.
