Installation Procedure for SIMM

Insert SIMM into the
SIMM sockets at a 45
degree angle.

1)

 

PIN1 of the SIMM must match with the PIN1 of the SIMM socket.

2)

 

The module will only insert into the socket one way.  An orientation cut-out will prevent
you from inserting it the wrong way.

3)

 

Insert the SIMM into the SIMM socket at a 45 degree angle. If pin 1 of the SIMM does
not line up with pin 1 of the socket,  the SIMM will not insert into the socket.  After
inserting the SIMM module completely into the socket, push the SIMM module into a
vertical position.
