The procedures in this chapter describe how to install or remove the supported options onto the CoreModule 420 single board computer (SBC). Some of the CoreModule 420 options described in this chapter may require turning the CoreModule 420 over to install or remove the option from the CoreModule 420.

DiskOnChip (DOC) Installation

The CoreModule 420 SBC supports the DiskOnChip by M-Systems in the bytewide socket (U5).

NOTE	The DiskOnChip is not listed as a drive and is not in the boot
	order. Refer to the software instructions provided with the
	specific DiskOnChip device for more information concerning
	booting the device.

Tools Required

Use a complete anti-static service kit (or the equivalent) to remove or install the DiskOnChip onto the CoreModule 420. A complete anti-static service kit should include a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist or ankle strap.

Installing the DiskOnChip (DOC)

CAUTION To prevent damage to the CoreModule 420 or the DiskOnChip, ensure the power supply to the CoreModule 420 is turned off and the power cord has been removed from the power source. Most AT power supplies will continue to provide standby current to the CoreModule 420 until the power cord is disconnected.

1.If the CoreModule 420 SBC is already powered up, power down the system and remove the power cord from the power supply.

CAUTION To prevent damage to the static sensitive components on the CoreModule 420, ensure you follow good Electrostatic Discharge principles. The CoreModule 420 and the DiskOnChip are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily damaged by improper handling. Do the following when handling the CoreModule 420 and its related DiskOnChip:

Always use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat.

Before you handle the CoreModule 420 or remove the DiskOnChip from the anti- static bag, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.

2.Verify the bytewide socket (U5) pins are clear of any material or obstructions that would prevent installation or bend the DiskOnChip pins.
