To remove a SIMM, do the following:
1.
Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin."

Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
3.
Turn off the system.
4.
To gain access to the SIMM sockets, remove the system cover.

Gently spread the retaining clip at each end of the SIMM, just enough to allow you
to rotate the top edge of the SIMM downward to an angle of about 45
°
.

Holding the SIMM only by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an
antistatic package.
7.
Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to gain access to
the SIMM sockets.
