COMX-P4080 COM Express Module Installation and Use (6806800L20C) 39
2.4 Installing and Removing the Memory Module
There is one 204 pin SODIMM slot on the COMX-P4080 COM Express Module.
Installing a Memory Module
1. Wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap.
2. Lay the COM-E module where the SODIMM is to be installed on the antistatic desktop.
3. C heck the thermal pad found in a separate package of the heat spreader/cooler pack. Tear
off the pad protection paper from one side and adhere it on the center of the PCB module,
between the bottom memory socket and the processor. The thermal pad for the bottom
memory is necessary if they will operate with a 100% loading under 55° C ambient
temperature. The thermal pad is optional otherwise.
4. Take the SODIMM out of the antistatic package, holding it by the edges.
5. Line up the notch located on the row of the metal pins at the bottom of the module with the
key in the SODIMM slot on the COM-E module.
6. Insert the SODIMM in a slantwise position or at a 45-degree angle to slide the memory
module into place.
Pin Damage
 Forcing the module into the system may damage connector pins.
 If the module hangs during insertion, pull it out and insert it again.
If only one memory module is going to be installed, it is recommended to install the memory
module on the lower memory slot.
