This procedure provides instructions for physically installing memory modules into a motherboard. I include here instructions for installing both SIMM and DIMM packaged memory. Installing memory modules can be a bit tricky, because SIMM sockets especially are both delicate and sometimes difficult to use. Some SIMM sockets can be extremely troublesome to use and it may take some patience to get the modules to install properly. Others are easier to use.
DIMM sockets are also easier to deal with.
I have also received reports indicating the possibility of a damaged motherboard if a module is inserted incorrectly. A small, thin, flat-bladed screwdriver may be handy in some cases. This procedure assumes that the sockets are already empty and does not include instructions for removing any modules that may already be present. Make sure that the motherboard is on a flat, clean, sturdy, static-free surface. Make sure that you are using the correct type of module for your system.
