INSTALLATION
The ACB-4525Z is a self-contained circuit board.
All logical and
electronic
functions
required for
its normal operation are
contained on the circuit board.
The ACB-4525Z is simple to
install, operate, and maintain.
3.1
UNPACKING
The ACB-4525Z is shipped in a
protective carton with shock
absorbing material and static protecting material completely
surrounding the card.
The carton should be examined for external
damage as it is opened.
The cards were physically inspected when
packed.
Any mechanical damage to the cards should be reported to
the shipper and to Adaptec as soon as possible.
CAUTION
All
circuit boards containing VLSI
circuitry have
some
sensitivity to electrostatic
discharge.
The ACB-4525Z is no
exception.
Proper handling precautions, including personnel
grounding and work surface grounding, should be taken to prevent
circuit stress which can cause premature circuit failure.
3.2
PREPARATION OF INSTALLATION AREA
The ACB-4525Z is generally designed into the host system or the
peripheral disk system.
Proper attention should be given to the
location
of
the
ACB-4525Z
so
the necessary ventilation,
installation clearances, and cabling paths are provided.
The power output is low enough
that
convective
ventilation
will be sufficient if the air and surrounding surfaces are at a
temperature of
55
degrees
Centigrade or less.
If
this
requirement cannot be met by the system enclosure in its worst
case environment, then the system enclosure must provide for
appropriate ventilation and cooling.
Care should be taken to support the card mechanically.
Any
appropriate combination of the eight mounting holes provided can
be used, depending on the forces to which the system will be sub-
jected.
No conductive material should come in contact with the
ACB-4525Z.
