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:
Use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat connected to ground.
Leave the SODIMM in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Before you remove a SODIMM from the anti-static bag, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
8. Locate the SODIMM socket (DIMM1) on the bottom of the ReadyBoard model. See Figure 2-13.
9. Open both retaining latches to release the SODIMM from the socket. See Figure 2-13.
The SODIMM will spring up to a 45° angle 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 from the socket.
10. Using the card edges, lift the SODIMM completely away from the socket. See Figure 2-13.
11. 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,
you will not see a display, and your system will not work properly.
