Installing the Additional Cooling Fan
1. Prepare the ReadyBox for installation of the additional cooling fan.
♦ If the ReadyBox is already prepared for the additional cooling fan installation, including
removal of the top cover, with power turned off and the AC power cord disconnected,
skip to Step 5.
♦ If the ReadyBox power is connected and operating, continue with next step.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the ReadyBoard, ensure the power is turned off in the
ReadyBox and the power cord has been removed from the AC power source.
The ATX power supply will continue to provide standby current to the chassis
until the power cord is disconnected.
2. Initiate a shut down sequence through the OS, or hold the power switch in for 4-6 seconds to turn
power off.
The Power LED should turn off completely when the power is turned off.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the AC power source.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the ReadyBoard, ensure you discharging yourself and
following good Electro Static Prevention principals before touching either one.
The ReadyBoard and the CompactFlash card are sensitive to static electricity and
can be easily damaged by improper handling. Do the following when handling
either one:
Leave the CompactFlash in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Always use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat.
Before you remove a CompactFlash from the anti-static bag, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
