Installing SIMMs
Note: It is recommended that the CPU and the memory module
be removed before installing or removing SIMMS on the system
board.
When properly installed, the SIMM module is oriented at an
angle of 90 degrees relative to the system board.
Notice: Use extreme care when installing a SIMM module.
Applying too much pressure can break the retaining clips or damage
the socket slot. SIMMs must always be installed and removed in
pairs.
1.
Power off the system and remove the covers as described
earlier in this chapter.
Notice: Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic wrist strap.
2.
Holding the SIMM module only by the edges, remove it from
its antistatic package.
3.
With the notched edge (A) of the SIMM (B) facing towards
the left edge of the system board, position the SIMM at about
a 45 angle relative to the socket on the board. The small
notch in the middle of the bottom edge of the SIMM mates
with the raised bump in the SIMM socket.
