Installing the SODIMM
If you want to install a larger size SODIMM or replace the existing SODIMM, refer to the following
procedure.
1. Prepare the ReadyBoard 700 for installation:
♦ If the ReadyBoard 700 is already prepared for SODIMM installation, with the power turned
off, the power cord disconnected, and an empty SODIMM socket, skip to Step 4.
♦ If the ReadyBoard 700 is operating, power down the system and continue with next step.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the ReadyBoard 700 and the SODIMM, 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 ATX power supply’s power cord from the power source.
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.
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.
3. Disconnect any cables that would prevent you from turning the ReadyBoard 700 over exposing
the bottom of the board.
4. Turn the ReadyBoard 700 over to access the bottom of the board and lay it on a flat anti-static
surface. See Figures 2-1 and 2-3.
