1.Using both hands, place your thumbs on the 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 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 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.
