For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long
fault-free life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by im-
proper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own safety
and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are requested to conform with
the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled person-
nel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit's power cord is
plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power
supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its source before removing
the chassis cover. Turning off the system power switch does not remove
power to components.
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity.
Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations and inspections
of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at all times.
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational pur-
poses unless it is otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where
a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged
before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a
metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing mezza-
nines, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plas-
tics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive circuits
on the board.
