Installing the DIMM
If you want to install a larger size DIMM or replace an existing DIMM, refer to the following procedure.
1. Prepare the LittleBoard 550 for installation:
♦ If the LittleBoard 550 is already prepared for DIMM installation, with the power turned off,
the power cord disconnected, and an empty DIMM slot, skip to Step 4.
♦ If the LittleBoard 550 is operating, power down the system and continue with next step.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the LittleBoard 550 and the DIMM, ensure the power switch
on the power supply is turned off and the power cord has been removed from the
power source. The typical AT power supply will continue to provide standby
current to the board until the power cord is disconnected.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power source.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the DIMM, do not touch the DIMM until you have
discharged yourself and followed good Electrostatic Discharge principals. The
DIMMs are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily damaged by improper
handling. Do the following when handling a DIMM:
Leave the DIMM in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat connected to ground.
Before you remove a DIMM from the anti-static bag, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
3. Remove the existing DIMM from the DIMM slot before continuing.
