Step 6 Using the SIMM orientation shown in Figure 12, position the new SIMM so that the polarization notch is located at the right end of the SIMM socket.
Step 7 Insert the new SIMM by sliding the end with the metal fingers into the SIMM connector socket at approximately a
Caution Do not use excessive force, or the connector could break. To prevent damage, do not push on the center of the SIMMs. Handle each SIMM with care.
Step 8 As required, repeat Steps 5 through 7 for the second SIMM.
Step 9 Reinstall the VIP in the chassis using the procedure in the section “Installing a VIP” on page 18.
If error messages relating to memory are displayed once power to the chassis is turned back on, or the VIP card is installed in a chassis that is already on, repeat Steps 1 through 8, taking care to firmly reseat each SIMM in its socket.
This completes the procedure for upgrading or replacing DRAM SIMMs on your VIP.
