ReadySystem 1U Users Guide 19
Memory Installation
The ReadyBoard model uses a single SODIMM socket available on the underside of the board. The
ReadyBoard SBC must be removed from the ReadySystem 1U enclosure to remove or install the single
SODIMM.
NOTE Refer to the specific ReadyBoard model QuickStart Guide or
Reference Manual for SODIMM installation recommendations.
Tools Required
Use an anti-static service kit (or the equivalent) to remove or install the SODIMM. An anti-static service
kit should include a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist or ankle strap.
Installation Guidelines
• When handling a SODIMM, observe anti-static discharge precautions to avoid damage.
• Refer to the specific ReadyBoard model QuickStart Guide or Reference Manual for SODIMM
installation recommendations.
• The typical SODIMM sizes are available from Ampro: 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or
1 GB, depending on the supported memory size of the ReadyBoard model.
• The supported SODIMM memory size is ReadyBoard model specific.
Removing the SODIMM
Use this procedure to remove the SODIMM from the SODIMM socket on the ReadyBoard.
1. Prepare the ReadySystem 1U for SODIMM removal:
♦ If the ReadyBoard model is already prepared for SODIMM removal, with the ReadyBoard
removed from the enclosure, skip to Step 7.
♦ If the ReadySystem has power applied and operating, continue with the next step.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the ReadyBoard, ensure the power switch on the
ReadySystem is turned off and the coaxial power cable has been
disconnected from the DC IN connector.
2. Initiate a shut-down sequence through the OS, or hold in the power switch for 4-6 seconds to turn
off the power.
The Power LED should turn off completely when the power is off.
3. Disconnect the coaxial power cable from the DC IN connector.
4. Remove the six screws holding the top cover to the ReadySystem enclosure and then slide the
cover to the rear as shown in the Figure 2-3.
5. Disconnect the cables to the ReadyBoard model and lay the free ends out of the way.
6. Remove the ReadyBoard model from the ReadySystem enclosure and place it on an anti-static
surface.
Refer to Removing ReadyBoard from Enclosure for more information.
7. Turn over the ReadyBoard model for access to the bottom of the board while laying it on a flat
anti-static surface. See Figure 2-13.
