Sounds like you have one of the [not very many] STe machines with SIP
modules (with the pins). I don't think you will pull the socket out. 

Most STe's appear to have SIMM modules which can be released by unlatching
the small hooks that hold them in place - but be *very* careful not to
snap them off as they are only plastic.
