4.3 Installing CPU cards
The CPU card’s components include CMOS chips which are sensitive to static electricity.
Before touching the CPU card touch a grounded metal object, such as any unpainted
surface on the matrix, to dissipate static electricity. While handling the CPU card, take care
not to bend any of the card’s connector pins or component leads.
Before operating the CPU card the card’s battery must be reconnected.
Note:
The CPU card is shipped with a disconnected battery to preserve battery life. For
instructions on reconnecting the battery, see
4.1.3
Reconnecting the CPU Card’s backup battery
The DIP switches on the CPU card should be checked before installation to ensure they are
correctly configured. The CPU card switch settings for normal operation (watchdog enabled)

Tip:
Store spare CPU cards in unused slots in the matrix (but do not plug them in fully) or in
electrically insulated packaging such as anti-static heavy duty plastic bags.
