6.1 System Maintenance Introduction

If the components of the POC-17C-ULT3 fail they must be replaced. Please contact the system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts.

6.2 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the

POC-17C-ULT3 may result in permanent damage to the

POC-17C-ULT3 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the POC-17C-ULT3. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the POC-17C-ULT3 is accessed internally, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

ƒ Wear an anti-static wristband : - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.

ƒ Self-grounding : - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.

ƒ Use an anti-static pad : - When configuring the POC-17C-ULT3, place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the

POC-17C-ULT3.

ƒ Only handle the edges of the PCB : - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB by the edges.

6.5 SO-DIMM Replacement

The POC-17C-ULT3 has two SO-DIMM slots, and is pre-installed with one 4 GB DDR4

SO-DIMM. To replace/install the SO-DIMM, please follow the instructions below.

Step 1: Remove the covers. See Section 6.4

.

Step 2: Locate the SO-DIMM slots ( Figure 6-4 ).

Step 3: To remove the SO-DIMM, push the two handles outwards. The memory module is ejected by a mechanism in the socket.

Step 4: Grasp the memory module by the edges and carefully pull it out of the socket.

Step 5: To install a new SO-DIMM, align the SO-DIMM so the notch on the memory module lines up with the notch on the memory socket ( Figure 6-5 ).

Step 6: Push the SO-DIMM into the socket at an angle ( Figure 6-5 ).

Step 7: Gently push downwards and the arms clip into place ( Figure 6-5 ).

6.6 PCIe Mini Card Installation

The POC-17C-ULT3 equips with a half-size PCIe Mini card slot that supports mSATA. To install a PCIe Mini card into the POC-17C-ULT3, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Remove the covers. See Section 6.4

.

Step 2: Locate the PCIe Mini card slot ( M_PCIE1 ) on the motherboard. Remove the preinstalled retention screw on the screw pillar of the PCIe Mini slot ( Figure 6-6 ).
