To insert a SLIM into a connector follow these steps:
1.Place the SLIM into the socket almost vertically (about 75- degree angle), making sure that it is properly oriented and fully inserted into the socket.
2.Press downward and sideways on the SLIM until it latches into the socket. Do NOT force the SLIM, the installation process requires a small force and should be very smooth and easy. If you encounter resistance then
To remove a SLIM from a connector follow these steps:
1.Using both hands, place your thumbs on the metal clips that hold the SLIM into the socket, and place your index fingers on the edge of the SLIM.
2.Push outwards (with your thumbs) on the metal clips until the SLIM is released from the clips. Your index fingers can then raise the SLIM past the clips. The SLIM is then free to be removed from the ACM/Flex16 board. The force required to open the metal clips is small and the SLIM naturally springs upwards as soon as the clips are open wide enough. If removal is difficult, then you are probably trying to raise the SLIM before the clips are open. Refer to Appendix F: SLIM Insertion/Removal regarding the removal of the ACM/Flex16 back cover and the removal of a SLIM.
