CAUTION To prevent damage to the LittleBoard 550 or the CompactFlash card, do not
touch either one until you have discharged yourself and have followed good
Electrostatic Discharge principals. The LittleBoard 550 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 connected to
ground.
Before you remove a CompactFlash from the anti-static bag, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
3. Check for bent pins or debris on the pins of the CompactFlash socket (J23).
4. Remove the CompactFlash card from its protective bag, handling the CompactFlash card by its
edges.
5. Insert the CompactFlash card into the slot provided by the tabs on the protective cover as shown
in Figure 2-1.
The CompactFlash card edge and socket are keyed to install in only one orientation.
