WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
IKARPC-07A-A9 may result in permanent damage to the
IKARPC-07A-A9 and severe injury to the user.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IKARPC-07A-A9. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the IKARPC-07A-A9 is accessed internally, 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

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 IKARPC-07A-A9, place it on an

anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IKARPC-07A-A9.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.

3.2 Installation Precautions

When installing the flat panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:

 Power turned off: When installing the flat panel PC, make sure the power is

off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.

 Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify

onboard functionalities.

IKARPC-07A-A9 In-vehicle Panel PC

Page 16

Figure 3-1: SD Card Slot Access Panel Retention Screw

 Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the flat panel PC, to

configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear an anti-static wristband.

3.3 Installation and Configuration Steps

The following installation steps must be followed.

Step 1: Unpack the system

Step 2: Install a SD card
