3. Important Instructions
This manual provides important information required for the proper operation of the KISS 2U V2 platform!
This chapter contains instructions which must be observed when working with the KISS 2U V2 platform.
3.1. Warranty Note
Due to their limited service life, parts which by their nature are subject to a particularly high degree of wear (wearing
parts) are excluded from the warranty beyond that provided by law. This applies to batteries, for example.
3.2. Exclusion of Accident Liability Obligation
Kontron Europe shall be exempted from the statutory accident liability obligation if the user fails to observe the included
document: “General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment” the hints in this manual or eventually the warning signs label
on the device.
3.3. Liability Limitation / Exemption from the Warranty Obligation
In the event of damage to the device caused by failure to observe the included document “General Safety Instructions for
IT Equipment”, the hints in this manual or eventually the warning signs label on the device, Kontron Europe shall not be
required to honor the warranty even during the warranty period and shall be exempted from the statutory accident
liability obligation.
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 instructions for the
distributor.
When used as intended the KISS 2U 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 2U V2 platform, loaded with hazardous energy.

4.1.Operation of Laser Source Devices
Fig. 1: Laser radiation warning label
The optional CD ROM and DVD drives contain light-emitting diodes (classified in accordance with IEC 825-1:1993: 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.
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 CPU board is equipped with a Lithium battery. When replacing the lithium battery, please follow the
corresponding instructions in the section
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).

The KISS 2U V2 platform expands the Kontron KISS computer line. KISS 2U V2 is a scalable 2U (19") platform, equipped
with a motherboard or a SBC (Single Board Computer) board, supporting various system configurations
(refer to “KISS 2U V2 Systems - Configuration Guides” on our website). The flexible customer-specific hardware system
configuration and the robust construction with excellent mechanical stability of the KISS 2U V2 platform offer the
superior qualities of a computer designed for operation in harsh industrial environment.
The KISS 2U V2 platform is designed to be installed in 19" racks. It may be also installed as a desktop unit.
Versions of the KISS 2U V2 platform:
Fig. 2: Rackmount version with
closed access panel
Fig. 3: Desktop version with
closed access panel
Fig. 4: Rackmount version with
opened access panel
Fig. 5: Desktop version with
opened access panel
The system can be equipped with up to two drive bays (depending on the system configuration):
L1: one 5:25" front accessible drive bay
L2: one 3.5" internal drive bay or an front accessible slim drive
For customized versions and system configurations, please observe the corresponding “KISS 2U V2
