Follow these steps to install a SIMM: 1. Carefully slip a SIMM at a 45° angle into a socket making sure that the curved edge indicating the pin 1 of the SIMM matches pin 1 of the socket. A SIMM fits only in one direction. If you slip in a SIMM but would not completely fit, you may have inserted it the wrong way. Reverse the orientation of the SIMM. 2. Gently push the SIMM to a vertical position until the pegs ...
Follow these steps to remove a SIMM: 1. Press the holding clips on both sides of the SIMM outward to release it. 2. Move the SIMM to a 45° angle. 3. Pull the SIMM out of the socket.
