Installing SIMMs
This section describes the installation of the
SIMM
s.
Caution
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage SIMMs and other components located on
the logic board. Make sure you touch a suitable ground before handling any
SIMM. If possible, set the NC on an anti-static mat and wear a grounding strap.
Always handle SIMMs only by the edges.
Your
NC
already has
SIMM
s installed. The
SIMM
slots, located on the front left
side of the logic board, are labeled
SIMM
1,
SIMM
2,
SIMM
3 and
SIMM
4. (See
Figure 5-5.) Observe the
SIMMs
currently in the slots and refer to Table 5-1,
“Explora 700 Memory Configurations,” on page 5-2 to determine your
configuration. Decide what you want your new configuration to be. If you
need to remove existing
SIMMs
, go to “Removing SIMMs” on page 5-8 and
then return to this section for installation instructions.
Note SIMM
s should be installed in matched pairs in slots
SIMM
