Remove/Install the SIMM Memory Boards
Released: MAY 2000 Agilent 35900E Service Manual 17
Remove/Install the SIMM Memory Boards
1. Remove the top cover. (See page 13)
2. Push out on the metal tabs holding the board in place. (See Figure 3)
3. Tilt the SIMM memory board towards the front of the unit about 45° and
slide it out. (See Figure 3)
4. If installed, repeat the process for the second SIMM.
If using only one SlMM board, it must be installed in the slot closest to the
front of the unit.
If using two SIMM boards, the front slot must be empty in order to install a
SIMM in the rear slot. Therefore, when using two SIMM boards, install the
rear SIMM first and then the front one.
5. Seat the SIMM memory board in the slot so that the posts are aligned with
the holes in the upper corners of the board and the memory chips mounted
on the SIMM board face the rear of the unit. (The board will be slightly
tilted forward.)
6. Push the board backwards until the metal tabs slip over the ends of the
SIMM board and the white posts fit through the holes. The board will be
seated vertically in the connector.
