Installing and Replacing Components
Before You Begin
Warning: 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.
