Step 5 When both ends of the SIMM are released from the socket, grasp the ends of the SIMM with your thumb and forefinger and pull the SIMM completely out of the socket. Handle the edges of the SIMM only; avoid touching the memory module or pins, and the metal traces, or fingers , along the socket edge.

Step 6 Place the SIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
