For your safety
Your new PEP product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure the renown electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free

the correct operation of your new PEP 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!
However, serious electrical shock hazards exist during all installation, repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore, always unplug the power cable to avoid exposure to
hazardous voltage.
Before installing your new PEP product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to
the installation of piggybacks.
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 opera-
tional purposes, unless it is otherwise protected.
$ Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations.
Where safe work stations are 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 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 tracks on the board.

PB-SIO4Preface
Two Years Warranty
PEP Modular Computers grants the original purchaser of PEP products a TWO YEARS LIMITED
HARDWARE WARRANTY as described in the following. However, no other warranties that may
be granted or implied by anyone on behalf of PEP are valid unless the consumer has the
express written consent of PEP Modular Computers.
PEP Modular Computers warrants their own products, excluding software, to be free from
manufacturing and material defects for a period of 24 consecutive months from the date of
purchase. This warranty is not transferable nor extendible to cover any other users or longterm storage of the product. It does not cover products which have been modified, altered or
repaired by any other party than PEP Modular Computers or their authorized agents. Furthermore, any product which has been, or is suspected of being damaged as a result of negligence, improper use, incorrect handling, servicing or maintenance, or which has been
damaged as a result of excessive current/voltage or temperature, or which has had its serial
number(s), any other markings or parts thereof altered, defaced or removed will also be
excluded from this warranty.
If the customer’s eligibility for warranty has not been voided, in the event of any claim, he may
return the product at the earliest possible convenience to the original place of purchase,
together with a copy of the original document of purchase, a full description of the application
the product is used on and a description of the defect. Pack the product in such a way as to
ensure safe transportation (see our safety instructions).
PEP provides for repair or replacement of any part, assembly or sub-assembly at their own
discretion, or to refund the original cost of purchase, if appropriate. In the event of repair,
refunding or replacement of any part, the ownership of the removed or replaced parts reverts
to PEP Modular Computers, and the remaining part of the original guarantee, or any new
guarantee to cover the repaired or replaced items, will be transferred to cover the new or
repaired items. Any extensions to the original guarantee are considered gestures of goodwill,
and will be defined in the “Repair Report” issued by PEP with the repaired or replaced item.
PEP Modular Computers will not accept liability for any further claims resulting directly or indirectly from any warranty claim, other than the above specified repair, replacement or refunding. In particular, all claims for damage to any system or process in which the product was
employed, or any loss incurred as a result of the product not functioning at any given time, are
excluded. The extent of PEP Modular Computers liability to the customer shall not exceed the
original purchase price of the item for which the claim exists.
PEP Modular Computers issues no warranty or representation, either explicit or implicit, with
respect to its products’ reliability, fitness, quality, marketability or ability to fulfil any particular
application or purpose. As a result, the products are sold “as is,” and the responsibility to
ensure their suitability for any given task remains that of the purchaser. In no event will PEP
be liable for direct, indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use of our hardware
or software products, or documentation, even if PEP were advised of the possibility of such
claims prior to the purchase of the product or during any period since the date of its purchase.
Please remember that no PEP Modular Computers employee, dealer or agent is authorized to
make any modification or addition to the above specified terms, either verbally or in any other
form, written or electronically transmitted, without the company’s consent.
