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.
Temperature and High Voltage Safety Instructions
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled
personnel only.
Be careful, this device will heat up during operation, and if touched
may cause burns. The temperature of the product housing may reach
up to approximately 50° C. Allow for sufficient cool down before handling after power is turned off.
Caution, Electric Shock!
Before installing your new Kontron product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to the
installation of piggybacks.
Serious electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation,
repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore,
always unplug the power cable and any other cables which provide
external voltages before performing work.
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 piggybacks, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
backup, 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.
