Guidelines to insert the SODIMM SOM into Carrier board
Make sure that power is not provided to the Carrier board.
Insert the module into the socket at a slight angle (approximately 30 degrees). Note that the socket and

To seat the module into the socket, apply firm, even pressure to each end of the module until you feel it slip
down into the socket.
With the module properly seated in the socket, rotate the module downward, as indicated in the illustration.
Continue pressing downward until the clips at each end of the socket lock into position.
Once the module has been installed, Carrier board can be Powered ON with 5V power supply.
