For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to ensure its com-
pliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free life. However, the life expect-
ancy 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.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
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 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 conductive circuits on the board.
