To prevent ESD damage, handle SIMMs by the card edges only.
Turn OFF the system power and follow the steps in the section "Removing and Replacing
the RP, SP or SSP, RSP7000, or RSP7000CI." Note that the RSP7000 does not support

Release the spring clips from the SIMM that you want to remove and release the SIMM
from the socket. (See Figure 5-16.)
