ReadyBoard 800
4. Turn the ReadyBoard 800 over to access the bottom of the board and lay it on a flat anti-static
surface. See Figures 2-1 and 2-2.
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.
5. Locate the SODIMM socket (J22) on the bottom of the ReadyBoard 800. See Figure 2-1.

6. Open both retaining latches to release the SODIMM from the socket. See Figure 2-2.
The SODIMM will spring up to a 45
°
angle to the board 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.
7. Using the card edges, lift the SODIMM completely away from the socket. See Figure 2-2.
8. Place the SODIMM on an anti-static surface or in an anti-static bag.
