Unpack the equipment from the shipping carton. Refer to the packing list
and verify that all items are present. Save the packing material for storing
and reshipping of equipment.
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage

circuits.
Caution
ESD Precautions
This section applies to all hardware installations you may perform that
involve the MVME162P4 board.
Use ESD
Motorola strongly recommends the use of an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when you install or upgrade the board. Electronic
components can be extremely sensitive to ESD. After removing the board
from the chassis or from its protective wrapper, place the board flat on a
Wrist Strap
grounded, static-free surface, component side up. Do not slide the board
over any surface.
If no ESD station is available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores). Place
the strap around your wrist and attach the grounding end (usually a piece
of copper foil or an alligator clip) to an electrical ground. An electrical
ground can be a piece of metal that literally runs into the ground (such as
an unpainted metal pipe) or a metal part of a grounded electrical appliance.
An appliance is grounded if it has a three-prong plug and is plugged into a
three-prong grounded outlet. You cannot use the chassis in which you are
installing the MVME162P4 itself as a ground, because the enclosure is
unplugged while you work on it.
Turn the system's power off before you perform these procedures. Failure
!
to turn the power off before opening the enclosure can result in personal
injury or damage to the equipment. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy
Warning
levels are present in the chassis. Hazardous voltages may be present on
power switch terminals even when the power switch is off. Never operate
the system with the cover removed. Always replace the cover before
powering up the system.
