Electrostatic discharge and incorrect board installation and removal can
damage circuits or shorten their life. Therefore:
• Before installing or removing the board, read "Action Plan" page 2-3.
• Touching the board or electronic components in a non-ESD protected
environment causes component and board damage.
Before touching boards or electronic components, make sure that you
are working in an ESD-safe environment.
• When plugging the board in or removing it, do not press or pull on
the front panel but use the handles.
• Before installing or removing an additional device or module, read
the respective documentation.
• Make sure that the board is connected to the CompactPCI backplane
via all assembled connectors and that power is available on all power
pins.
Installing the PPC/CPCI-690 into or removing it from a powered system
not supporting hot swap or high availability causes board damage and
data loss.
Therefore, only install or remove it from a powered system if the system
itself supports hot swap or high availability and if the system documen-
tation explicitly includes appropriate guidelines.
Installing the board under hot-swap conditions in and removing it from
system slots causes board damage and data loss.
Therefore, only install or remove the board under hot-swap conditions if
the board is to be operated in slots for which hot swap is explicitly per-
mitted by the system documentation (in most hot-swap systems periph-
eral slots only).
Removing the board from a powered system with IDE devices attached to
the board's primary or secondary IDE interface via the ACC/RTB-602
results in data loss.
Only remove the board from a powered system without IDE devices
attached to the board's primary or secondary IDE interface via the
ACC/RTB-602
Removing the board from the backplane while the hot-swap LED is still
off causes data loss.
Wait until the blue hot-swap LED is on before removing the board.
