Fitting two DIMMS to Optiplex 7090 - thermal pad??

OptiPlex 7090 Micro

OptiPlex 7090 Micro

I have another DIMM to fit to this product, but on the system board there is a warning printed to use a thermal pad with two DIMMS. Any ideas? I a piece of thermal padding, but no idea where to fit it or why. Dell have no idea either.

Thanks.

The thermal pad will transfer heat from DIMM module to PCB.  You will have to estimate the measurement.  The pad could be around 2.5" thick or up to 5.5" thick.  Fit the pad on the PCB (system board) within the rectangular box where you saw the message.
