Gently work the SIMM straight down into the socket by pressing across the top
of the SIMM until the bottom edge of the SIMM touches the connectors on the
socket, as shown in Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7
Pressing the SIMM Into the Socket
Firmly press the SIMM into the socket until you hear it snap into place on both
sides. This may require considerable pressure.
If the SIMM is installed correctly, you should see no space between the socket
and the bottom row of small chips, and you should not be able to lift the white
lever easily.
The white lever is for removing the SIMM. If you can lift it easily, the SIMM
isn't in all the way. Press down on the top of the SIMM to push it all the way
into the socket.
2. Install the other SIMMs.
3. Visually check the tops of the SIMMs to make sure they are installed all the way. If a
SIMM sticks up above the rest, push it farther into its socket.
See "Replacing the CPU Board and Covers" on page 51 to complete the installation.
