Installation
The AM4011 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precau-
tions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper in-
stallation and to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to
personnel.
3.1
Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the AM4011.
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 remov-
ing 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.
Warning!
AMC modules require, by design, a considerable amount of force in order to
(dis)engage the module from/in the AMC carrier/backplane connector. For this
reason, when inserting or extracting the module, apply only as much force as
required to preclude damage to either the module’s handle or the front panel.
DO NOT
push on the module handle to seat the module in the carrier/
backplane connector. Do not use the module handle as a grip to handle the
board outside of the carrier or chassis slot.
Use of excessive force, bending or rotation of the module handle will result in
damage to the handle or the module’s locking mechanism. Kontron disclaims
all liability for damage to the module or the system as a result of failure to com-
ply with this warning.
ESD Equipment!
This AMC module contains electrostatically sensitive devices. Please observe
the necessary precautions to avoid damage to your board:
•
Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must be dis-
charged before use.
•
Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
•
If working at an anti-static workbench with professional discharging
equipment, please do not omit to use it.
Warning!
This product has gold conductive fingers which are susceptible to contamina-
tion. Take care not to touch the gold conductive fingers of the AMC Card-edge
connector when handling the board.
Failure to comply with the instruction above may cause damage to the board
or result in improper system operation.
