CAUTION To prevent damage to the static sensitive components on the
ReadyBoard, ensure you follow good Electrostatic Discharge
principles. Components on the ReadyBoard are sensitive to static
electricity and can be easily damaged by improper handling. Do the
following when handling the ReadyBoard:
Always use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat.
Before you handle the ReadyBoard, touch a grounded, unpainted
metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
6. Ensure you have installed the required SODIMM memory onto the ReadyBoard before
continuing.
Once the ReadyBoard is installed into the ReadyBox, you will not be able to access the
SODIMM socket on the ReadyBoard.
7. Position the ReadyBoard near the eight standoffs on the enclosure shelf at about a 10° angle to
the mounting shelf. See Figures 3-4 and 3-5.
8. Insert the ReadyBoard and its LAN connectors just under the lip of the two LAN ports on the
enclosure wall, behind the I/O panel. See Figure 3-4.
9. Slowly work the ReadyBoard into place, inserting the I/O connectors and LEDs into the
respective openings on the I/O Panel.
When you have the ReadyBoard in position you should clearly see the mounting holes for the
eight standoffs under the board mounting holes, and the LEDs should fit into the openings
provided on the I/O Panel.
