OPENING THE MEGA65 CASE

Your MEGA65 consists of an injection molded plastic case, built-in keyboard and disk drive, ports for peripherals, and

internal components. The case is designed to be opened by its owner if needed.

You may want to open the case for the following reasons:

• To access the internal SD card

– There is a small door in the bottom of the case that provides access to the internal SD card without opening

the case, but I ﬁnd it too diﬃcult to access this way. You will only need the internal SD card during initial

set-up (see below), and only if you want to copy the bundled disk images.

• To install (or replace) the CR1220 battery for the Real-Time Clock

• To resolve issues with the case by adjusting its assembly (see Known hardware issues)

• To install a JTAG adapter (see Using the JTAG connector)

To open the MEGA65 case, locate three screws along the bottom front of the case and remove them with a Phillips

head screwdriver.
