Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage
!
Caution
Caution Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board, the backplane, or
other system components. Carefully inspect your board and the backplane for both pin
and component integrity before installation.
ECC and our suppliers take significant steps to ensure there are no bent pins on the backplane
or connector damage to the boards prior to leaving our factory. Bent pins caused by improper
installation or by boards with damaged connectors could void the warranty for the backplane or
boards.
If a system contains one or more crushed pins, power off the system and contact your local
sales representative to schedule delivery of a replacement chassis assembly.
Use Caution When Installing or Removing Boards
When first installing boards in an empty chassis, we recommend that you start at the left of the
card cage and work to the right when cards are vertically aligned; in horizontally aligned cages,
work from bottom to top.
When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to other boards, use extra caution to avoid
damage to the pins and components located on the primary or secondary sides of the boards.
Preserve EMI Compliance
!
Caution
Caution To preserve compliance with applicable standards and regulations for electromagnetic
interference (EMI), during operation all front and rear openings on the chassis or board
faceplates must be filled with an appropriate card or covered with a filler panel. If the
EMI barrier is open, devices may cause or be susceptible to excessive interference.
