Installing A Simm - AOpen AP53 User Manual

2.6.1 Installing a SIMM

Follow these steps to install a SIMM:
1. Slip a SIMM at a 45° angle into a
socket. If the SIMM does not
completely fit into the socket,
reverse the SIMM orientation. The
SIMM has a curved edge indicating
pin 1 that ensures installation in
one direction only.
2. Gently push the SIMM up until the
pegs of the socket slip into the
holes on the SIMM and the holding
clips lock the SIMM into a vertical
position.
Observe the ESD precautions when installing
components.
Be careful when inserting or removing SIMMs.
Forcing a SIMM in or out of a socket can
damage the socket or the SIMM (or both).
The SIMM should be at a 90 ° angle when
installed.
