CAUTION

To prevent damage to the ReadyBoard or the compact flash card, ensure you

discharge yourself and follow good Electrostatic Discharge principals before

touching components. The ReadyBoard and the compact flash card are

sensitive to static electricity and easily can be damaged by improper handling.

Do the following when handling either one:

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

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

Before you remove a compact flash from the anti-static bag, touch a grounded,

unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.

4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the compact flash cover and place the two screws in a safe

place for use later. See Figure 2-1.

5. If necessary, inspect the socket for bent pins or debris on the pins of the compact flash socket.

6. Remove the compact flash card from its protective bag, handling the compact flash card

by its edges.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the ReadyBoard or the compact flash card, do

not force the compact flash card into the slot. If you have to force the

compact flash card into the slot, it is not installed correctly.

The guides on the compact flash sockets on the ReadyBoard series

have enough flexibility to expand when the CF is installed incorrectly.

7. Insert the compact flash card into the opening provided by matching the pin-1 orientation of the

compact flash card with the arrowhead on the I/O panel. See Figure 2-2.

NOTE

The keyed slots and lip (or catch edge) on the compact flash card are

used to install into the socket in only one orientation. Pin-1 should

be down and to the right as shown in the Figure 2-2.
