    It is a Condition of Sale that the user of Octagon products in life support applications assumes all the risk of such use and indemnifies Octagon against all damage.

    Multiple component failures: The chance of a random component failure is very rare since the average MTBF of an Octagon card is greater than 11 years. In a 7 year study, Octagon has never found a single case where multiple IC failures were not caused by misuse or accident.
  • Page 4 Other components probably have been partially damaged or a failure mechanism has been induced. Therefore, a failure will probably occur in the future. For such cards, Octagon highly recommends that these cards be replaced. Other over-voltage symptoms: In over-voltage situations, the programmable logic devices, EPROMs and CPU chips, usually fail in this order.

  • Page 5: Avoiding Damage To The Heatsink Or Cpu

    This card is guaranteed to operate over the published temperature ranges and relevant conditions. However, sustained operation near the maximum temperature specification is not recommended by Octagon or the CPU chip manufacturer due to well known, thermal related, failure mechanisms. These failure mechanisms, common to all silicon devices, can reduce the MTBF of the cards.

    Extended BIOS jumper The extended BIOS jumper is W12[3–4]. The extended BIOS memory region (D8000h to DFFFFh) contains the Octagon INT17 functions. When this jumper is removed, this memory region is freed up for other uses. Note that if you want to use the INT17 functions, you must either leave the jumper installed or copy those functions elsewhere.

    Most of these PC supplies are rated at 5V at 20A or more. Switching supplies usually requires a 20% load to operate properly, that is, 4A or more. Since a typical Octagon system takes less than 2A, the supply does not regulate properly. Output drift up to 6–7V and/or 7–8 voltage spikes have been reported.
