6. Move the internal cables out of the way to allow installation of the ReadyBoard. See Figure 2-6.
♦ If you did not remove the two USB cables (USB 2 & USB 3) from the enclosure to remove
the ReadyBoard, you need to do so before installing the ReadyBoard back into the enclosure.
♦ If necessary, for greater access to the internal space of the ReadySystem, disconnect any cables
between the +5 volt regulator and the internal parts of the ReadySystem. See Figures 2-4 & 2-6.
Refer also to the respective ReadyBoard QuickStart Guide for more cable removal information.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the static sensitive components on the

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.
