Step 1: Using both hands, carefully set the SIMM into the socket at a 45
degree angle, tilted towards the CPU socket (refer to Figures 2-9 and 2-10).
Do not force it in or damage may result. Note that the SIMM modules are
keyed in such a way that they cannot be inserted incorrectly (refer to
Figure 2-11 on page 14). If you are having difficulty placing them into the
socket, check to see that you are not attempting to insert them backwards.
Do not lock the module into position at this time.
Step 2: Check to make sure the module is centered in the socket, and that
the connector pins of the module line up with the socket connector pins.
Step 3: Using both hands and applying equal pressure on each end of the
module, lock the module into the socket by pushing forward. Make sure
both locking tabs have seated properly. The module should now be standing
upright in the socket .
WARNING: Failure to observe proper insertion guidelines may result in damage
to the SIMM and/or the socket.
