2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the ECW-281B-D2550 and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ECW-281B-D2550. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the ECW-281B-D2550 or any other electrical component
is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
ECW-281B-D2550 Embedded System
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the ECW-281B-D2550, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
ECW-281B-D2550.

2.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the ECW-281B-D2550 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the ECW-281B-D2550 does
not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
2.1.
2.3 are present.

3 Installation

Page 15

3.1 Installation Precautions

During installation, be aware of the precautions below:
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of
the ECW-281B-D2550, installation instructions and configuration options.
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the ECW-281B-D2550 must be
disconnected during the installation process. Failing to disconnect the power
may cause severe injury to the body and/or damage to the system.
Qualified Personnel: The ECW-281B-D2550 must be installed and operated
only by trained and qualified personnel. Maintenance, upgrades, or repairs
may only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the
associated dangers.
Air Circulation: Make sure there is sufficient air circulation when installing the
ECW-281B-D2550. The ECW-281B-D2550’s cooling vents must not be
ECW-281B-D2550 Embedded System
obstructed by any objects. Blocking the vents can cause overheating of the
ECW-281B-D2550. Leave at least 5 cm of clearance around the
ECW-281B-D2550 to prevent overheating.
Grounding: The ECW-281B-D2550 should be properly grounded. The
voltage feeds must not be overloaded. Adjust the cabling and provide external
overcharge protection per the electrical values indicated on the label attached
to the back of the ECW-281B-D2550.

3.2 Bottom Surface Removal

WARNING:
Over-tightening bottom cover screws will cause damage to the bottom
surface. Maximum torque for cover screws is 5 kg-cm (0.36 lb-ft/0.49 Nm).
Before accessing the internal components of the ECW-281B-D2550, the bottom surface
Page 16
must be removed. To remove the bottom surface, please follow the steps below:
