Installation of Compact Flash Upgrades
1. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

component locations, refer to FIG. 9.
3. Insert the tip of a grounded flathead screwdriver into one of the Card Removal Grooves (located on
either side of the card), and gently pry the card out of the slot. Repeat this process on the opposite
card removal groove. This alternating action causes the card to "wiggle" away from the on-board
connector pins.
4. Slip your finger into the opening between the connector pins and the card, and push the card out to
remove it.
5. Remove the upgrade card from it’s anti-static bag.
6. Insert the upgrade card into the connector opening with the arrow facing towards the pins, then push
it in firmly until the contact pins are completely inside the flash card and securely attached to the
connector (FIG. 10).
