Daniel,

I've installed ram a couple of times in my SE/30. You need to remove the
motherboard, which mostly involves easing out all the connectors an then
simply sliding the board out of the chassis.  Some of the white connectors
have retaining clips that must be depressed before you can work them free
(I almost ruined my board the first time by not noticing one of these).I
assume you know you have to install simms in sets of four.

Let me know if you need more info. I'll see if I can find my old
instruction sheet.

John

BTW be careful around the CRT - it can store high voltage and is also
easily damaged. I cracked the plug end on one and boy, is that a sickening
hiss when you hear the vacuum being lost!
