For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long
fault-free life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own safety
and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are requested to conform with
the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled personnel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is
plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power
supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its source before removing
the chassis cover. Turning off the system power switch does not remove
power to components.
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity.
Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations and inspections
of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at all times.
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational purposes unless it is otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where
a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged
before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a
metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing mezzanines, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive circuits
on the board.

AT8402 Installation
2. Installation
The AT8402 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to
personnel.
2.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the AT8402.
Kontron assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these
requirements.
Warning!
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that the
heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when installing or
removing the board.
In addition, the board should not be placed on any surface or in any form of storage container until such time as the board and heat sink have cooled down to
room temperature.
Note ...
Certain ATCA boards require bus master and/or rear I/O capability. If you are
in doubt whether such features are required for the board you intend to install,
please check your specific board and/or system documentation to make sure
that your system is provided with an appropriate free slot in which to insert the
board.
ESD Equipment!
This ATCA board contains electrostatically sensitive devices. Please observe
the necessary precautions to avoid damage to your board:
• Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must be discharged before use.
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton,
do not remove the component's antistatic packing material until you are
ready to install the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the
antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded.
This will discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your
body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
• Handle components and boards with care. Do not touch the components
or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting
bracket.
• Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electro-
magnetic, magnetic, or radioactive fields.
