While we're on the subject, I have a question about the C49 cap part of the installation instructions. It says that it needs to be moved to a different location, but I assume this was for space reasons with the old PCB design with simm adapter and that it shouldn't be necessary with the newer RAM PCBs?

If caps are not in the way, then no need to move them.
