14 QuickStart Guide ReadyBoard 700
CAUTION To prevent damage to the SODIMM, do not touch the SODIMM until you have
discharged yourself and followed good Electrostatic Discharge principals. The
SODIMMs are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily damaged by improper
handling. Do the following when handling a SODIMM:
Leave the SODIMM 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 SODIMM from the anti-static bag, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
5. Locate the SODIMM socket (DIMM1) on the bottom of the ReadyBoard 700. See Figure 2-1.

6. Open both retaining latches to release the SODIMM from the socket. See Figure 2-2.
The SODIMM will spring up to a 45° angle to the board once you open both retaining latches. If
the SODIMM does not spring up to a 45° angle, then the retaining latches have not released the
SODIMM remove from the socket.
7. Using the card edges, lift the SODIMM completely away from the socket. See Figure 2-2.
8. Place the SODIMM on an anti-static surface or in an anti-static bag.
NOTE If you remove the SODIMM and restore power without a SODIMM installed,
your system will not work properly and you will not see a display.
