Which statement about installing DIMMs is true?
1. You insert the DIMM at a 35-degree angle.
2. You must install DIMMs in matching pairs.
3. You must line up the cutout end of the DIMM with the correct end of the memory socket.
4. >>You push the DIMM straight down into the socket.
Explanation : Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) differ from the older Single Inline Memory Modules (SIMMs) in a variety of ways. DIMM connectors have different sized sections so you can line them up correctly in the socket. Once you match the sections correctly, you push the DIMM straight down into the socket. When the DIMM is correctly seated, swivel locks on either end snap into place.
SIMMs have a cut-away portion on one edge so you can line them up properly. You insert them at an angle and then raise them into place.
Older 486 and Pentium I systems required SIMMs to be installed in pairs.
