3.1 Hardware Installation
The board described in this manual can be installed in any CompactPCI compatible computer

the chassis to avoid lossening of the board through vibration and to ensure correct earth con-
nection.
Caution, Electric Shocks!
If your board type is not specifically qualified as hot-swap 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.

Please observe the necessary precautions to avoid damage to your
board:
