Removing 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. Ensure the CoreModule 420 power supply is turned off and the power cord is removed 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 package, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface to discharge any static
electricity.
2. Grasp the DiskOnChip and gently rock it side to side while lifting it up out of the bytewide
socket.
3. Lift the DiskOnChip away from the bytewide socket and put it on an anti-static surface or anti-
static package for safe keeping. See Figure 2-2.
