DRAM Orientation
SIMMs are manufactured with a polarization notch to ensure proper orientation and alignment holes
to ensure proper positioning. Figure 6 shows the polarization notch and alignment holes on a SIMM
card. Cisco 3600 series DRAM SIMM cards are installed with the connector edge down, the
polarization notch near the front of the chassis, and the component side facing the right side of the
chassis.
Caution To avoid damaging ESD-sensitive components, observe all ESD precautions. To avoid
damaging the motherboard, avoid using excessive force when you remove or replace SIMMs.
