2/ Installation Procedures
2.1. Installing the Board
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
To get the board running follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON already has components like RAM
and CPU cooler mounted, then skip the relevant steps below.
1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the PSU) or
leave the Power Connectors unconnected while configuring the board. Otherwise,
components (RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged. Make sure to use +12 V DC single
supply only with suitable cable kit and PS-ON# active.
The power supply unit shall comply with the requirements as defined in IEC 62368-1
according Clause 6.2.2 to power source category PS2 "Limited Power Source".
2. Connecting interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change Setup
settings.
3. Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the +12 V DC jack or 2.54 mm pitch 1x6-pin wafer connector, and then the board will
boot up.
4. Mounting the board in chassis
When mounting the board to chassis etc. please note that the board contains
components on both sides of the PCB that can easily be damaged if board is handled
without reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function
at all.
When fixing the board on a chassis, it is recommended to use screws with an integrated washer and a diameter of > 7
mm. Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and cause short circuits.
2.2. Chassis Safety Standards
Before installing the QDS-9400 in the chassis, users must evaluate the end product to ensure compliance with the
requirements of the IEC60950-1 safety standard:
The board must be installed in a suitable mechanical, electrical and fire enclosure.
The system, in its enclosure, must be evaluated for temperature and airflow considerations.

Wear ESD-protective clothing and shoes
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground
Check the resistance value of the wrist strap periodically (1 MΩ to 10 MΩ)
Transport and store the board in its antistatic bag
Handle the board at an approved ESD workstation
Handle the board only by the edges
