Claim 13:
14. A method for inserting one or more memory modules into one or more memory sockets using an insertion machine, the method comprising:
providing the insertion machine comprising:
one or more insertion rods moveably mounted to one or more vertical guides, the one or more insertion rods comprising corresponding tips configured to contact a memory module;
a horizontal guide, wherein the one or more vertical guides are connected to the horizontal guide; and
an insertion controller configured to apply an insertion force via the corresponding tips to the memory module in a memory socket by controlling movement of the one or more insertions rods on the one or more vertical guides;
wherein the insertion controller includes an electronic simulated cam or a mechanical cam, the electronic simulated cam or the mechanical cam configured to drive linear motion of the one or more insertion rods according to gradually decreasing velocity,

applying, by the one or more insertion rods, the insertion force via the corresponding tips configured to contact a memory module to one of the memory modules in a corresponding one of the memory sockets, such that movement of the one of the one or more insertion rods has a gradually decreasing velocity as the one of the memory modules moves towards the corresponding one of the memory sockets; and
controlling, by the insertion controller, the insertion force applied to the one of the memory modules by the one or more insertion rods based on a measured distance, the insertion controller configured to cease applying the insertion force by the one or more insertion rods when a target distance is reached.
