9.4 Flashdisk Installation
Installing a USB flashdisk module on Aurora is straightforward using the following steps.
1.
Ensure power is disconnected from Aurora.
2.
Remove the screw from the standoff located between the flashdisk connector, USB3, and the PC/104
connector.
3.
Align the flashdisk so that its female connector aligns with the pins on connector USB3 and the
mounting hole aligns above the standoff.
4.
Press the flashdisk downward onto connector USB3.
5.
Reinstall the screw, securing the flashdisk module to Aurora.
10. RUGGEDIZED RS
ODIMM™ SO-DIMM MODULES
Aurora comes with ruggedized RS
ODIMM™ SO-DIMM SDRAM modules for improved performance in high shock
and vibration environments. These modules securely affix to the Aurora single board computer through a pair of
standoffs and screws. This innovative design ensures that the SO-DIMM module remains fixed in place and
cannot back out of its socket.
These ruggedized SO-DIMM modules are identical in function to the standard SO-DIMMs, but have an extended
PCB with two mounting holes that attach to Aurora as can be seen below.

10.2 SO-DIMM Memory Installation
Installing a SO-DIMM memory module on Aurora is straightforward using the following steps. These steps
assume you are installing a rugged memory SO-DIMM from Diamond Systems. If no, please disregard steps 2
and 6.
1.
Ensure power is disconnected from Aurora.
2.
Remove the two screws from the two standoffs located between the SO-DIMM connector and the
edge of the board.
3.
Insert the SO-DIMM module into the socket at a slight angle, approximately 30 degrees. The socket
and module are both keyed, which means the module can be installed one way only.
4.
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.
5.
With the module properly seated in the socket, rotate the module downward. Continue pressing
downward until the clips at each end of the socket lock into position.
6.
Reinstall the two screws into the standoffs, securing the SO-DIMM to Aurora.
