Installation of Compact Flash Upgrades
1.
Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.
2. Locate the 32 MB Compact Flash card on the main board. For more detailed information on 
component locations, refer to FIG. 9.
3. Insert the tip of a grounded flathead screwdriver into one of the Card Removal Grooves (located on 
either side of the card), and gently pry the card out of the slot. Repeat this process on the opposite 
card removal groove. This alternating action causes the card to "wiggle" away from the on-board 
connector pins.
4. Slip your finger into the opening between the connector pins and the card, and push the card out to 
remove it.
5. Remove the upgrade card from it’s anti-static bag.
6. Insert the upgrade card into the connector opening with the arrow facing towards the pins, then push 
it in firmly until the contact pins are completely inside the flash card and securely attached to the 
connector (FIG. 10).
