  1. Insert the 8-pin DIP socket into U7. This is where the EEPROM will sit.
     
  2. Find the footprint for U7.
     
  3. Seat the socket, being mindful of the notch that indicates orientation on both the footprint and socket.
  4. Tape the 8-pin DIP socket into place.
  5. Solder the socket into place. As before, make sure the socket is flat against the board. The top-right pins as pictured are all ground pins, so they will require more heat to melt. Be patient with these pins.
  6. Solder a 10kΩ resistor into R36. This is a pull-up resistor to create a weak high on the SDA line (YOU LOST ME HERE ON THE REASONING).  Press the resistor firmly into place (picture needs to be updated).

    Info

    Remember, resistors are not polarized.

  7. Solder a 0.1uF capacitor into C13. This filters noise for the EEPROM power.
