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 2-3.
5. Remove the existing SODIMM from the SODIMM socket before continuing.
Refer to the Step 4 in the proceeding procedure,
Removing the SODIMM
, and follow the
remaining steps in that procedure before continuing with the next step in this procedure.
6. Remove the SODIMM from its protective bag, handling the SODIMM by its edges.
NOTE
Ampro recommends using PC 2700 DDR 333 (166 MHz, 6 ns),
+2.5V, 200-pin, DDR RAM SODIMM for maximum performance.
The PC 2100 DDR 266 (133 MHz) SODIMM will operate acceptably.
7. Ensure there is nothing in the SODIMM socket that would prevent its installation.
8. Insert the SODIMM into the socket at 45
°
angle to the bottom of the ReadyBoard 800 with the
components facing up. See Figure 2-3.
The SODIMM card edge and socket are keyed to install into the socket in only one direction.

9. Press the edges of the SODIMM down between the latches, until the latches snap into place.
See Figure 2-3.
The latches should open to accept the SODIMM without any resistance. If you encounter any
resistance, you may not have inserted the SODIMM far enough into the socket.
10. If the retaining latches do not close completely on the SODIMM, remove it and repeat Steps 7 to 9.
11. Turn the ReadyBoard 800 back over onto the bottom of the board, placing it on the work surface.
12. Reconnect any cables you disconnected earlier and verify all other connections to the
ReadyBoard 800 are still connected.
13. Reconnect the ATX power supply’s power cord to the power source.
14. Restore power to the ReadyBoard 800 and observe the boot screen for new memory recognition.
If the system does not boot or there is a problem recognizing the new memory, the new SODIMM
could be defective or the SODIMM was not properly installed or recognized.
