Chapter 2 Installing ReadySystem 1U Options
The procedures in this chapter describe how to install or remove the ReadySystem 1U supported
options. This includes removing/installing the compact flash card and its cover, as well as removing
the ReadyBoard model SBC from the ReadySystem 1U enclosure and removing/installing memory.
NOTE The ReadyBoard 700 is used in these ReadyBoard examples, but you
will need to refer to the specific documentation for your ReadyBoard
model to locate and identify the jumper and connector locations.
Refer to the ReadyBoard model QuickStart Guide or the ReadyBoard
model Reference Manual for more specific installation/removal
information than is provided in this Chapter.
Compact Flash Card Installation
This brief procedure describes how to remove the protective cover from the compact flash opening in the
I/O panel and installing the compact flash card into the open slot. Refer to the ReadyBoard model
documentation for specific compact flash jumper settings and compatibility.
NOTE You may use compact flash cards (Type I or II) from commercial
vendors. Ensure you verify the firmware bit status, DMA or UDMA
compatibility of the compact flash card before purchasing. Not all
card vendors define or support these parameters. Consult the
ReadyBoard product Hardware Release Notes and your compact
flash card vendor for these parameter compatibilities.
Tools Required
Use these tools to remove and install the compact flash card into or out of the ReadySystem 1U.
• Small to medium Phillips screwdriver
• Anti-static service kit - Use a complete anti-static service kit (or the equivalent) to remove or
install the compact flash card. 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 Compact Flash Card
1. Prepare the ReadySystem 1U for compact flash (CF) card installation:
♦ If the ReadySystem is already prepared for compact flash installation, including removal of
the CF cover, with power turned off and the coaxial power cable disconnected, skip to Step 5.
♦ If the ReadySystem has power applied and is operating, continue with the next step.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the ReadyBoard, ensure the power switch on the
ReadySystem is turned off, and the coaxial power cable has been
disconnected from the DC IN connector.
2. Initiate a shut down sequence through the OS, or hold in the power switch for 4-6 seconds to turn
off power.
The Power LED should turn off completely when the power is turned off.
3. Disconnect the coaxial power cable from the DC IN connector.
