Be careful installing memory SIMMS; people have been known to break the connectors on the motherboard, resulting in a repair you get to pay for. In particular, be careful removing the drive plate with disk drives installed; if you drop it, it can land on the memory SIMMS and you can damage the connectors on the motherboard. It is remarkably heavy and awkward when one or two RZ23's are installed on it. This is why we have field service install the memory SIMMS when you get memory from DEC; we judged the probability of damage to the machine by people not mechanically inclined to be too high. Hopefully we'll get things better on the next machine to the point that these worries will not occur. - Jim Gettys
