To install a SIMM
1. Take the SIMM out of its anti-static packaging. Hold it by its
edges and avoid touching the metal contacts.
Note that the SIMM is not symmetrical; there is a small cut-
out or notch in one end.
2. Place the SIMM in the socket at a 15
o
angle to the vertical,
making sure that the notched edge of the SIMM matches the
notched edge of the socket.
3. Pushing gently on its top corners, lean the SIMM upright in
the socket until the pegs of the socket engage with the holes on
the SIMM, and the metal clips on the socket hold both ends of
the SIMM firmly in position.
