If you need to remove a previously installed SIMM before installing a new one, follow the

instructions in the next section, “Removing Memory (DRAM SIMMs).”

2

Align the SIMM you’re installing in the SIMM slot as pictured.

IMPORTANT

Do not touch the SIMM’s connectors. Handle the SIMM only by

its edges.

IMPORTANT

Some SIMMs have DRAM chips that stand “taller” (extend

further from the SIMM) than others. If your SIMMs have tall DRAM chips
on both sides of the SIMM, it may not be possible to install both of the
SIMMs without special tools. If you have trouble installing your SIMMs, take
them with your computer to your Apple-certified technician for installation.

The SIMM fits into the slot only one way.
Make sure the notch on the SIMM is on this side.

Insert the SIMM into the SIMM slot.
(Insert the SIMM at a slight angle.)
