Template:FAQ/Questions/verdex 120-pin first

Why should any 120-pin expansion board be connected to the verdex motherboard before any other expansion board ?
REQUIREMENT:

Connect any 120-pin expansion to the verdex motherboard first. Then, connect a 60-pin expansion board after connecting the 120-pin board.

WARNING:

There is a warning printed right on the verdex motherboard that shows exactly where the squeezing force must be applied by the user when attaching the verdex motherboard to any 120-pin expansion board.

REASON:

The 120-pin connector needs a good squeeze to cause a verdex motherboard and a 120-pin board to connect together. If that squeeze is not applied to the designated location on the verdex motherboard, then the memory chips may take some of that misplaced force and snap. These memory chips on the verdex motherboard are fragile and can snap with excessive force.
