2 Unpacking and Placement
Unpacking
The Axon Synapse card must be unpacked in an anti-static
environment. Care must be taken NOT to touch components on the
card – always handle the card carefully by the edges. The card must
be stored and shipped in anti-static packaging. Ensuring that these
precautions are followed will prevent premature failure from
components mounted on the board.
Locating the card The Synapse card can be placed vertically in an SFR18 frame or
horizontally in an SFR04 frame. Locate the two guide slots to be
used, slide in the mounted circuit board, and push it firmly to locate
the connectors.
Correct insertion of card is essential as a card that is not located
properly may show valid indicators, but does not function correctly.
REMARK: On power up all LEDs will light for a few seconds, this is
the time it takes to initialise the card.
