4. General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment KISS 4U Short V2 – User's Guide (Version 1.01)

4. General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment

Please consider the instructions described in the included “General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment”.

Caution:
Energy hazards > 240 VA are present inside the chassis!
Activities such as system expansion with expansion cards, or maintanance have to be carried-out by
qualified personnel familiar with the associated dangers!

The installation instruction for the KISS 4U Short V2 platform is the responsibility of the distributor.

When used as intended the KISS 4U Short V2 platform is to operate only closed and locked.

Only when the cover is properly installed, secured with the knurled screws on the rear and the cover
fastening screw on the front, and the access panel is locked with the key, it is ensured that the user
doesn’t have access to the internal parts of the KISS 4U Short V2 platform, loaded with hazardous energy.

4.1. Operation of Laser Source Devices

Fig. 1: Laser radiation warning label

The optional DVD drive contain light-emitting diodes (classified in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2007: LASER CLASS 1)
and therefore must not be opened.

If the enclosure of such a drive is opened, invisible laser radiation is emitted. Do not allow yourself to be exposed to this
radiation.

The laser system meets the code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR, 1040 for the USA and the Canadian Radiation Emitting
Devices Act, REDR C 1370.

4. General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment KISS 4U Short V2 – User's Guide (Version 1.01)

4.2. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging
and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:

1. Transport boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.

2. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the ESD-safe workplace.

3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or assembly.

4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic mats.

4.2.1. Grounding Methods

The following measures help to avoid electrostatic damages to the device:

1. Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected to workplace as well as

properly grounded tools and equipment.

2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizes to give added protection.

3. Always handle electrostatic sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.

4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.

5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting test equipment.

6. Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and styrofoam.

7. Use field service tools such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners which are conductive.

8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.

4.3. Instructions for the Lithium Battery

The installed motherboard is equipped with a Lithium battery. When replacing the lithium battery, please follow the
corresponding instructions in the chapter

Caution

Danger of explosion when replacing with wrong type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. The lithium battery type must be UL recognized.

10.3 “Replacing the Lithium Battery”.

Do not dispose of lithium batteries in general trash collection. Dispose of the battery according to the
local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials, (e.g. to the collecting points for
dispose of batteries).

Hint for system configuration with AC Wide Range PSU!

Please observe that the ON/OFF switch of the AC wide range PSU does not disconnect the platform from
the mains power source. The unit is only completely disconnected from the mains when the power cord is
disconnected either from the mains power source or the unit. Therefore, the power cord and its
connectors must always remain easily accessible. The outlet of the AC power source must be located near
to the device and be easily accessible.

9.2.1. Attaching the Ferrite Core

Before you connect the KISS 4U Short V2 with DC Power Supply Unit (PSU) to a DC power source, you have
to attach the ferrite core (7427113, manufacturer: Würth Elektronik) to the wires that are used for the

Please ensure that during the DC connection procedure, there is no power flowing from the external

power connection:

2

for the +24VDC PSU

Only with the attached ferrite core are ensured the requirements of EMC standards (for emission and
immunity).
Do not close the ferrite core before you have attached it to the power wires!

To attach the ferrite core, proceed as follows:

1. Open the ferrite core as much as possible.

2. Put the two wires together.

3. Lay the wires into the middle channel of the one half of the ferrite core, at 5-8 cm (2-3 in) to one end of the wires. Run

the wires lengthwise, one time around the ferrite core (see figure below), so that the wires are running out at the
other end of the ferrite core.

4. Fold the two halves of the ferrite core, without closing the ferrite case completely.

5. Check the location of the wires in the channel of the ferrite core. If the winding loop is too large, you have to reduce

it, by pulling the end of the longer wires.

6. Close the ferrite core completely until the clamp snaps in place.

 For light soiling, clean the KISS 4U Short V2 with a dry cloth.
 Stubborn dirt should be removed using a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
 Clean the filter mat regularly (see chapter

10.1 “Cleaning the Filter Mat”).

10.1. Cleaning the Filter Mat

The filter mat is inserted in the filter mat holder at the front side of the fan slide-in module (Fig. 32, pos. 4). The soiling of
the filter mat is caused by the pollution of the operating environment. A heavily soiled filter mat can cause excessive
heating of the device. For this reason we recommend to clean the filter mat as often as necessary. The filter mat can be
changed during operation of the system.

4. Remove the soiled filter mat (

5. Clean the filter mat as follows:

 Rinse in water (up to approx. 40°C; possibly with the addition of a standard mild detergent).
 It is also possible to beat the filter pad, to vacuum it or blow it with compressed air.
 For dirt that contains grease/oil, the filter pad should be rinsed with warm water with the addition of a degreaser.

Filter pads should not be cleaned with powerful water jets or wrung out.

10.2. Replacing the System Fans

The operation of the KISS 4U Short V2 system is permitted only with a functional fan slide-in module!

Defective components may only be replaced by Kontron original spare parts.

 part number of the fan slide-in module: 1035-6968

The fan slide-in module can be replaced during operation. This should only be carried out by a qualified
specialist or a suitably instructed user, who is aware of the associated dangers.

Keep your hands and fingers away from rotating parts of the fans. Before taking out the fan slide-in
module, wait until the fans have totally stopped.

To replace fan slide-in module, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the filter mat holder as described in section

10.1 “Cleaning the Filter Mat” (step 1 to 3) and put it aside for

later reassembly.

2. Loosen the two knurled screws of the fan slide-in module (

Fig. 40, pos 1)

3. Pull the fan slide-in module out of the cabinet using the knurled screws to disconnect it from the internal fan control

socket (

4. Lift the fan slide-in module as shown (
