Removing SIMMs

If you wish to install an upgrade in a bank which is already

occupied you must first remove the existing SIMMs. For

each SIMM in the bank:

1. Lever the metal clips on each side of the socket

gently away from the SIMM using your forefingers.

2. Place your thumbs on the top edge of the SIMM and

move it gently towards the vertical.

3. When the SIMM has rotated through 20°, taking care

to avoid touching any of the components on the

SIMM, grip the top corners of the SIMM between

thumb and first finger and carefully pull the SIMM out

of the socket.

Inserting SIMMs

For each socket in the bank:

1. The SIMM will only install in one orientation. There

is a cutout at one end of the SIMM next to the

connector strip.

Hold the SIMM with the cutout on the left and the

metal connector strip nearest the motherboard.
