1.1 Important Notes
Please read this manual carefully before you begin installation of this hardware device. To avoid
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or transient voltage damage to the board, adhere to the following rules at all
times:
o
You must discharge your body from electricity before touching this board.
o
Tools you use must be discharged from electricity as well.
o
Please ensure that neither the board you want to install, nor the unit on which you want to install this
board, is energized before installation is completed.
o
Please do not touch any devices or components on the board.
C
AUTION
As soon as the board is connected to a working power supply, touching the board may result in electrical
shock, even if the board has not been switched on yet. Please also note that the mounting holes for heat
sinks are connected to ground, so when using an externally AC powered device, a substantial ground plane
differential can occur if the external device's AC power supply or cable does not include an earth ground.
This could also result in electrical shock when touching the device and the heat sink simultaneously.
