Installing System Memory and Add-On Peripherals

Installing the SIMMs

To install the SIMMs, locate the memory banks on the system board. Find the lowest bank number available (0,1,2,3) and work your way up.

Perform the following steps to install the SIMMs:

1.Hold the SIMM so that the notched edge is aligned with the notch on the SIMM socket (Figure 3-1).

2.Insert the SIMM at a 45 degree angle.

3.Gently push the SIMM into an upright position until it “locks” into place (past the release tabs).

2.With the SIMM free from the release tabs, lift the module up and place in an anti-static bag or package.
