Thanks.  Is removing it likely to break anything?  

I've never connected a keyboard, mouse, or monitor to this Pi --- I
just used dd to put the image on the SD card, put that in the Pi,
started it up, found it on the LAN (with a DHCP address) and used ssh
to do the rest (obviously changing the default password first...).
And I'd like to not have to dig out a spare keyboard (& so on) later
if it doesn't connect according to the static LAN IP for some reason.
