Installing New SIMMs

SIMMs are sensitive components that are susceptible to ESD damage. Handle SIMMs by the edges
only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector
edge of the SIMM). (See Figure 5-17.)

When both ends of the SIMM are released from the socket, grasp the ends of the SIMM
with your thumb and forefinger and pull the SIMM completely out of the socket. Handle
the edges of the SIMM only; avoid touching the memory module or pins, and the metal
traces, or fingers, along the socket edge.
Place the SIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Repeat Steps 4 through 6 for the remaining SIMMs, as required for your upgrade.
