CP321
3.
Installation
The CP321 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precau-
tions and installation information/procedures must be observed.
3.1
Board Installation
Caution, Electric Schock!
If your board type is not specifically qualified as hotswap capable,
please switch off the CompactPCI system before installing the board in a
free CompactPCI slot. Failure to do so could endanger your life/health
and may damage your board or system.
Note...
Certain CompactPCI boards require bus master and/or rear I/O capa-
bility. If you are in doubt whether such features are required for the
board you intend to install, please check your specific board and/or
system documentation to make sure your system is provided with an
appropriate free slot to insert the board.
ESD Equipment!
This CompactPCI board is sensitive to static electricity discharges
(ESD). Please observe the following precautions to avoid damage to
your board:
• Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must
be discharged before use.
• Do not touch components, connector-pins, or conductive circuits.
• If working at an anti-static workbench with professional discharging
equipment, please do not omit to use it.
3.2
Placement of the CP321
The Kontron CompactPCI system configuration is characterized by the fact that its system slot
(slot "1") is on the right end of the backplane, thus allowing for physical CPU growth (heat-sink,
cooling fan, PCI expanson modules, etc.) associated with higher-performance processors.
Note...
Prior to inserting this controller board, please make sure it is being fit-
ted into the system slot.
