CAUTION
To prevent damage to the ReadyBoard 800 or the compact flash card, do
not touch either one until you have discharged yourself and have
followed good Electrostatic Discharge principals. The ReadyBoard 800
and compact flash cards are sensitive to static electricity and can be
easily damaged by improper handling. Do the following when handling
the compact flash cards:
Use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat connected to
ground.
Before you touch the compact flash card, touch a grounded, unpainted
metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
3. Disconnect any cables that would prevent you from turning the ReadyBoard 800 over exposing
the bottom of the board.
4. Turn the ReadyBoard 800 over to access the bottom of the board and lay it on a flat anti-static
surface. See Figure 2-6.
5. Grasp the two sides of the compact flash card or the lip (catch edge) and gently pull it from the
compact flash socket and place on anti-static surface or in anti-static bag.

JP3 to the correct setting (Master/Slave) before continuing. See Table 2-1 and Figure 1-4.
