2. Installation
The AT8404 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installa-
tion procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and to preclude
damage to the board, other system components, or injury to personnel.
2.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the AT8404. Kontron
assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these requirements.
WARNING
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact
that the heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when
installing or removing the board.
In addition, the board should not be placed on any surface or in any form
of storage container until such time as the board and heat sink have
cooled down to room temperature.
ESD sensitive equipment
This ATCA board contains electrostatically sensitive devices. Please observe the neces-
sary precautions to avoid damage to your board:
•
Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must be discharged
before use.
•
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not re-
move the component's antistatic packing material until you are ready to install
the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,
be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. This will discharge any static
electricity that may have built up in your body.
•
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container
or packaging.
•
Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic
floor pads and workbench pads.
•
Handle components and boards with care. Do not touch the components or con-
tacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
•
Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
magnetic, or radioactive fields.
