Kontron Medi Client IIA 104 (EOL) - Manual (Page 11)

5. General Safety Instructions Medi Client IIA - Instructions for use (Version 1.03)
5.1. Instructions for the CMOS (Lithium) Battery
The implemented SBC ( Single Board Computer) is equipped with a Lithium battery. The Lithium battery should be
replaced by the manufacturer only. Please observe the chapter 8.1 “Maintenance Intervals for the Lithium Battery”.
Caution
Danger of explosion when replacing with wrong type of battery. The Lithium battery type must be UL
listed.
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).
5.2. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry.
Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary prerequisites for avoiding damage.
Always take the following precautions:
1.
Do not remove the ESD protection cover Fig. 19 mounted to the serial interface of the Medi Client IIA if no serial
device is connected to this port (refer to the section 7.2.5.3, Serial Interface Connector).
2. Transport printed circuit boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
3. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at a static-free station.
4. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive PCB, component, or assembly.
5.
Store electrostatic-sensitive PCB’s in protective packaging or on conductive foam.
5.2.1. Grounding Methods
Guard against electrostatic damage of the device by taking the following preventative steps:
1. Cover workstations with approved anti-static material. Provide a wrist strap connected to a work surface and properly
grounded tools and equipment.
2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for added protection.
3. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, PCB’s, and assemblies by the case or the edge of the board.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment.
6.
Keep the 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 that are conductive.
8. Always lay drives and PCB’s with the component-side down on the foam.
