  • Page 69: Best Practices

    APPENDIX - A BEST PRACTICES POWER SUPPLY The power supply and how it is connected to the Single Board Computer (SBC) is very important. Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Only handle the SBC and other bare electronics when electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is in place. Having a wrist strap and a fully grounded workstation is the minimum ESD protection required before the ESD seal on the product bag is broken.

  • Page 70: Power Down

    Contact Points WinSystems’ boards mostly use connectors with gold finish contacts. Gold finish contacts are used exclusively on high speed connections. Power and lower speed peripheral connectors may use a tin finish as an alternative contact surface. It is critical that the contact material in the mating connectors is matched properly (gold to gold and tin to tin).
  • Page 71 MOUNTING AND PROTECTING THE SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER (continued) Plug or Unplug Connectors Only on Fully Mounted Boards Never plug or unplug connectors on a board that is not fully mounted. Many of the connectors fit rather tightly and the force needed to plug or unplug them could cause the single board computer to be flexed.
  • Page 72 Every single board computer has an Operations manual or Product manual. Manual Updates Operations/Product manuals are updated often. Periodicially check the WinSystems website (http://www.winsystems.com) for revisions. Check Pinouts Always check the pinout and connector locations in the manual before plugging in a cable. Many single board computers will have identical headers for different functions and plugging a cable into the wrong header can have disastrous results.
