Installing System Memory 3-8
3.04 SIMM INSTALLATION
When you are ready to install the SIMMs in the sockets, follow the steps outlined below.
• With the board flat on the table, turn it so that the sockets are at the end of the board
farthest from you.
• Hold the module with the notch on the bottom left facing you, and insert the SIMM
Module into the socket at a 70
°
angle from the board. Always start inserting the
module in the socket nearest the center of the board. Then work your way by inserting
the other modules, one by one, towards the exterior edge of the board.
• Snap the module to a vertical position in the socket. The module is fully inserted when
the retaining pegs snap into the holes at each end of the module.
To remove the SIMMs from the sockets, pull on the retaining clips, located on each side
of the SIMM socket. Once the module has snapped out of the socket, pull gently on it.
