Installing the SODIMM

If you want to install a different size SODIMM or replace the existing SODIMM, refer to the following procedure.

1.Prepare the CoreModule 800 for SODIMM installation:

If the CoreModule 800 is already prepared for SODIMM installation, with the power turned off, the power cord disconnected, and an empty SODIMM socket, skip to Step 4.

If the CoreModule 800 is operating, power down the system and continue with next step.

CAUTION To prevent damage to the CoreModule 800 and the SODIMM, ensure the power switch on the power supply is turned off and the power cord has been removed from the power source. The typical ATX power supply will continue to provide standby current to the board until the power cord is disconnected.

2. Disconnect the ATX or AT power supply’s power cord from the AC power source.

CAUTION To prevent damage to the CoreModule 800 or the SODIMM, do not touch the either one until you have discharged yourself and have followed good Electrostatic Discharge principals. The CoreModule 800 and the SODIMM are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily damaged by improper handling. Do the following when handling either one:

Use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat connected to ground.

Leave the SODIMM in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

Before you touch the CoreModule 800 or SODIMM, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.

3.Disconnect any cables that would prevent you from turning the CoreModule 800 over exposing the bottom of the board.
