Ground the Instrument.
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be connected to an electrical ground.
If the equipment is supplied with a three-conductor AC power cable, the power cable must be plugged into
an approved three-contact electrical outlet, with the grounding wire (green/yellow) reliably connected to an
electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable meet
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards and local electrical regulatory codes.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
Do not operate the equipment in any explosive atmosphere such as in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment could result in an explosion and cause
injury or damage.
Keep Away From Live Circuits Inside the Equipment.
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel or other
qualified service personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component
replacement or any internal adjustment. Service personnel should not replace components with power cable
connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To
avoid injuries, such personnel should always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching
components.
Use Caution When Exposing or Handling a CRT.
Breakage of a Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of glass fragments (implosion). To
prevent CRT implosion, do not handle the CRT and avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment.
Handling of a CRT should be done only by qualified service personnel using approved safety mask and
gloves.
Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment.
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of the equipment. Contact your local
Motorola representative for service and repair to ensure that all safety features are maintained.

Warning
Warning
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage circuits.
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive
foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components, such as disk
drives, computer boards, and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the component from its protective
wrapper or from the system, place the component flat on a grounded, static-free
surface (and, in the case of a board, component side up). Do not slide the component
over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing
an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active
electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this equipment. Use
extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.
Hardware Configuration
This section discusses certain hardware and software tasks that may need to be performed
prior to installing the blade in a shelf.
The ATCA-C110/1G board has been factory tested and is shipped with the configurations. It
contains a factory installed start-up firmware, U-Boot, which operates with those factory
settings. See Chapter 3, U-Boot Firmware Overview for more details. You can configure most
options on the ATCA-C110/1G via the U-Boot. Configuration changes are made by setting bits
in control registers after the board is installed in a system.
The user control configuration details are described in Chapter 6, Memory Map and Registers.
For more details refer to the datasheets of the devices as listed in Manufacturers’ Documents
on page 100.
Software Support
Refer to the current ATCA-C110/1G Software Release Notes, as listed in Appendix B,
