Installing SIMMs
Read the ESD precautions in section 1.2
before proceeding.
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.
2.
Gently push the SIMM to a vertical position until the pegs of the
socket slip into the holes on the SIMM, and the holding clips lock
the SIMM into position. The SIMM should be at a 90
o
angle
when installed.
Figure 1-2
Installing a SIMM
Always install SIMMs starting with Bank 0
and in pairs. For example, for a total
memory of 8 MB, install two 4-MB SIMMs in
sockets 0 and 1 of Bank 0. You can not use
an 8-MB SIMM alone for an 8-MB memory.
