SMART Embedded Computing RTM-ATCA-F140 Series Installation & Use Manual page 16

Safety Notes
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by SMART EC could void the user's
regulatory compliance. Board products are tested in a representative system to show
compliance with the above mentioned requirements. A proper installation in a compliant
system will maintain the required performance.
Use only shielded cables when connecting peripherals to help assure that appropriate radio
frequency emissions compliance is maintained. For proper EMC shielding, only operate the
system with face plates installed and all vacant slots covered or populated with filler cards.
This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for
Interference (VCCI) by Information Technology Interference. If this equipment is used in a
domestic environment, radio disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the user
may be required to take corrective actions.
Grounding
If the product is not properly grounded, it may be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
The system contains EMI gaskets at the shelf and module level. Make sure that each of the
system's parts contact the EMI gasket.
The shelf is also fitted with an ESD jack/snap for use with conductive wrist straps. Make
sure the operator uses proper ESD protection.
Rear Transition Modules
Damage of the RTM
Incorrect installation of the RTM can cause damage to the RTM.
Use handles when installing/removing the RTM to avoid damage/deformation to the face
plate and/or PCB.
Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the RTM, the backplane, or other
system components. Carefully inspect the RTM and the backplane for both pin and
component integrity before installation.
SMART EC and our suppliers take significant steps to ensure there are no bent pins on the
backplane or connector damage to the blades/RTMs prior to leaving the factory. Bent pins
caused by improper installation or by inserting blades with damaged connectors could void
the SMART EC warranty for the backplane or blades.
