Handling a SIMM
Handle SIMMs by the card edges only. SIMMs are sensitive components that can be
With the RSP7000 in the same orientation as the previous procedure (with the handle away
from you and the edge connector toward you), install the first SIMM in the socket farthest
from you. Then install the last SIMM in the socket closest to you.
Remove a new SIMM from the antistatic bag.
Hold the SIMM component side up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) closest to
you.
Hold the sides of the SIMM between your thumb and middle finger, with your forefinger
against the far edge, opposite the connector edge. (See Figure 5-17.)
Tilt the SIMM to approximately the same an angle as the socket and insert the entire the
connector edge into the socket.
When inserting SIMMs, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you
Gently push the SIMM into the socket until the spring clips snap over the ends of the
SIMM. If necessary, rock the SIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly.
Repeat Steps 2 through 6 for the remaining SIMMs.
When all SIMMs are installed, check all alignment holes (two on each SIMM), and ensure
that the spring retainer is visible. If it is not, the SIMM is not seated properly. If any SIMM
appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SIMM firmly
back into the socket until the retainer springs snap into place.
