Yeah, I remember ages ago pulling apart a 7100 for the same upgrade and wondered why the metal casing had red paint all over it  That was my blood!

I had the same experience the first time I tried to get to the logic board of a 7100.    Once one knows how the case goes together, it's not that bad, but the first time, if  you don't know how to take it apart...   It looks like you could just sort of wedge your fingers under there and reach the SIMM sockets....
