Setting Up the Workspace
CAUTION To prevent damage to the electronic components on the ReadyBoard 700, do not
handle the board until you have followed Electrostatic Discharge precautions.
Always touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface before touching the
ReadyBoard 700 or any of the components on the board.
Always use an anti-static wrist strap connected to a grounding mat having static-
dissipating characteristics and is attached to earth ground.
4) Select workbench location
• The workbench location should be flat, clear of debris, and have a
static-free mat (or the equivalent) to place the ReadyBoard 700
assembly onto for setup and operation (including the power
supply and any peripherals).
5) Connect an ESD strap to
your body
• Connect an ESD strap between your body (wrist or ankle) and ground
or the static-free mat.
If you do not have your own ESD strap, an ESD Kit is provided
in the QuickStart Kit with an anti-static wrist strap.
6) Unpack the
ReadyBoard 700 and its
accessories.
• Remove the ReadyBoard 700 from its protective plastic case and
place it on static-free work surface.
The cables provided in the QuickStart Kit are used to make
external connections to the ReadyBoard 700 such as keyboard,
mouse, floppy drive, IDE drives, printer, USB devices, and power.
