electronics including input power and intended

 

loads. Any loads applied outside of the specified output

range may result in unintended

 

and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the

board and/or

 

interface electronics. Please consult the System Reference Manual before connecting any

load to the board output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please

 

contact the Supplier

representative. During normal operation, some circuit components

 

may have case temperatures

greater than 60 C as long as the input and output are

 

maintained at a normal ambient operating

temperature. These components include but are

 

not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors,

pass transistors, and current sense

 _resistors which can be identified using the board schematic

located at the link in the board System Reference Manual. When placing measurement probes near
these devices during normal operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the
touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable in electronic
measurement and diagnostics normally found in development environments should use the board.

Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless

. You agree to defend, indemnify 

and hold

the Suppliers, their licensors and their representatives harmless from and against

 

any and all claims,

damages, losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively,

 

"Claims") arising out of or in connection

with any use of the board that is not in

 

accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation

shall apply whether Claims

 

arise under the law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even

if the board _fails to perform as described or expected.

Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications

. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible

use in safety critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the Supplier’s product

 

would

reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, such as devices which are

 

classified

as FDA Class III or similar classification, then you must specifically notify Suppliers of

 

such intent and

enter into a separate Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.
