Installing and Replacing Components
Before You Begin
Warnings
The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with
industrial electronics and with safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and
modifying electronic equipment. Disconnect
the system from its power source and from
any telecommunication links, networks or
modems before performing any of the
procedures described in this chapter. Failure
to disconnect power, or telecommunication
links before you open the system or perform
any procedures can result in personal injury
or equipment damage. Some parts of the
system can continue to operate even though
the power switch is in its off state.
Caution
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures described in this
chapter only at an ESD workstation. If such a
station is not available, you can provide
some ESD protection by wearing an
antistatic wrist strap
and
attaching
it
to
a
metal part of the system chassis or board
front panel. Store the board only in its
original ESD protected packaging. Retain the
original packaging (antistatic bag and
antistatic box) in case of returning the board to EKF for repair.
