perform this procedure to remove a flash memory simm from a mainboard:
step 1 attach an esd-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.
step 2 locate the flash memory simm sockets on the mainboard. (see figure 5-14 through figure 5-16.)
handle simms by the non-connector edges only. simms are esd-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling.
step 3 to lift the flash memory simm out of its socket, pull the locking spring clips on both sides outward and tilt the simm toward the left side of the chassis, free of the clips. (see figure 5-17.)
