NOTE Some of the cables or components, including the ReadyBoard, may not be
shown in the following figures to simplify the figure and improve clarity.
Tools Required
Use these tools to install and remove the ReadyBoard into or out of the ReadySystem 1U enclosure.
• Small to medium Phillips #2 screwdriver.
• Anti-static service kit - Use a complete anti-static service kit (or the equivalent) to remove or
install the ReadyBoard. A complete anti-static service kit should include a static-dissipating
work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist or ankle strap.
Removing the ReadyBoard from Enclosure
1. Prepare the ReadySystem 1U for the ReadyBoard removal.
♦ If the ReadySystem is already prepared for ReadyBoard removal, with the top cover removed,
power turned off, and the coaxial power cable disconnected, skip to Step 5.
♦ If the ReadySystem has power applied and 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.
2. Initiate a shut down sequence through the OS, or hold in the power switch for 4-6 seconds to turn
power off.
The Power LED should turn off completely when the power is turned off.
3. Disconnect the coaxial power cable from the DC IN connector of the I/O panel.
4. Remove the top cover from the ReadySystem enclosure.
a. Remove the six screws from the enclosure cover and slide the top cover to the rear.
b. Lift the top cover up and away from the enclosure. See Figure 2-3.
c. Set aside the top cover for later re-installation.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the static sensitive components on the ReadyBoard,
ensure you follow good Electrostatic Discharge principles. Components
on the ReadyBoard are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily
damaged by improper handling. Do the following when handling the
ReadyBoard:
Always use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat.
Before you handle the ReadyBoard, touch a grounded, unpainted metal
surface to discharge any static electricity.
