3.Inspect each cache memory chip; the pins should point inward at slightly less than a 90° angle. If any of the pins are bent or crooked, straighten them gently with your fingers or with small tweezers to align them with the other pins. Be careful when you do this; the pins are fragile and can break off easily.

4.Position one of the cache chips over the first socket as shown below, aligning the pins on the chip with the holes in the socket. Align the small notch on the end of the chip with the corresponding notch on the socket.

5.Gently press the chip halfway into the socket (to make sure it is correctly aligned). If the chip goes in at an angle, remove it and try again.

6.When the chip is properly positioned, push down firmly on both ends of the chip to make sure it is well-seated.

7.Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each of the remaining chips.

8.Now install the tag SRAM chip in socket U30, next to the SIMM sockets, as described in steps 4 through 6 of this procedure. See “Locating System Board Components” to locate the tag SRAM socket on the main system board.
