Installing SIMMs
Obtaining access
To obtain access to the SIMM sockets you must remove
the left side panel as described in Removing the left side
panel .
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 end 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 forwards.
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 at the bottom and the
metal connector strip nearest the motherboard.
