My simm kitts came with an installation guide which was necessary and
sufficient to enable me to get the memory on the board.

You can add the simm chips to the empty sockets on the board but they
must be in the "correct slots" (unless you are fully populating the board).
In addition, there are 2 dip switches on the board that must be properly
set depending on how much memory you are adding.

If you cant get hold of the installationguide, email me the details
and I'll look it up for you.
