This section gives instructions on how to add memory modules to or
remove memory modules from the 6180 Computer processor board.
Internal 6180 Computer components may be damaged by
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Make sure you wear a grounding
strap whenever handling circuit boards, memory modules or other
internal components.
ATTENTION: Wear a wrist strap (well grounded)
and perform work in a static safe environment.
Electrostatic discharge can damage the 6180 Computer
and components.
Also observe the following precautions:
• Always handle the memory cards by the ends not by the memory
module contacts.
• Store memory in an anti–static bag when it is not installed.
• Never install or remove memory with the power turned on.
To add or remove memory:
1. Disconnect power from the 6180 Computer.
ATTENTION: Disconnect all power from the 6180
Computer before adding/removing components.
Failure to disconnect power could result in severe
electrical shock or damage to the 6180 Computer.
2. Remove the back panel of the 6180 Computer.
Refer to procedures in the 6180 Computer Industrial Computer
User Manual for details on how to remove the back panel.
3. Remove the 5 screws securing the power supply (see illustration,
next page).
Carefully remove the power supply while noting how the cabling
is dressed in the unit. Also note that air diverting flap(s) are
attached to the power supply. Observe the position of the air
diverting flap(s) for later re–installation. Be careful not to
damage them. Because of the limited length of the main supply
cable harness to the motherboard, the power supply can be moved
only to the point that it just clears the edge of the chassis.
NOTE: You do not have to disconnect the power supply wiring.
Carefully position the power supply out of the way.
