Removing the Chip
REMEMBER: Touch the power-supply cover to discharge static
electricity on your body before grasping the chip.
WARNING
Remove the memory chip carefully. Be sure you do
not damage the chip or the circuit board sockets in
any way. Avoid touching the pins on the chip with
your fingers because static electricity on your body
may damage the chip. Grasp the chip by the ends
and with the chip extractor only.
Use the chip extractor (which resembles a large pair of tweezers)
included in the RAMCard package to grasp the chip at each end.
There is a slot under the chip at each end where the extractor prongs
will fit. Wiggle the chip very slightly to loosen it. Apply no more
