The SIMM sockets accept any DRAM
combinations that satisfy the 128 MB
maximum memory.
Installing a SIMM
Observe the ESD precautions when
installing components.
Follow these steps to install a SIMM:
1. Slip a SIMM at a 45
o
angle into a socket with the component side
facing down.
Be careful when inserting or removing
SIMMs. Forcing a SIMM in or out of a
socket can damage the socket or the
SIMM (or both).
2. Gently push the SIMM up until the pegs of the socket slip into the
holes on the SIMM and the holding clips lock the SIMM into a
vertical position.
The SIMM should be at a 90
o
angle when
installed.
