Hardware Installation
3. Hardware Installation
Carefully read and follow the safety instructions at the beginning of this
document and the safety instructions contained in the scope of delivery of
your PC, before you start with the hardware installation!
To exclude hazards due to live parts and to avoid interruptions of operation,
installation, putting into operation and adjustments of the product may only be
carried out by qualified personal, which is authorized to put devices, systems and
electric circuits into operation according to the applicable national standards of
safety engineering!
Danger!
Electric shock risk. Never carry out work while power supply voltage is switched on!
Attention !
Electrostatic discharges may cause damage to electronic components. To avoid
this, please discharge the static electricity from your body by touching the metal
case of your PC
before
you touch the AMC-PCIe-Carrier and the AMC board.
Procedure:
1
Switch off your computer and all connected peripheral devices (monitor, printer, etc.).
2.
Discharge your body as described above.
3.
Disconnect the computer from the mains.
If the computer does not have a flexible mains cable, but is directly connected to mains,
disconnect the power supply via the safety fuse and make sure that the fuse cannot switch
on again unintentionally (i.e. with caution label).
Danger!
Do not insert the AMC-PCIe-Carrier while power supply voltage is switched on!
4.
Open the case.
5.
Set the operating mode of the AMC-PCIe-Carrier by means of the jumper (J210).
6.
Insert the AMC-PCIe-Carrier board into the selected PCIe slot. Carefully push the board
down until it snaps into place.
7.
You can now insert your AMC board:
Insert your AMC board carefully into the vertical side guide rails of the AMC board slot of the
AMC-PCIe-Carrier and gently push the board down until it snaps into the place.
8.
Connect the computer to mains again (mains connector or safety fuse).
Danger!
There are dangerous live parts within the equipment (e.g. the computer's power
supply). Please read the manual of your computer for further information on this.
Do not touch these live parts neither with your fingers, body or clothes nor with an
object! This could result in death or serious damage to health or considerable
material damage on the hardware of the computer, the AMC-PCIe-Carrier and the
AMC board. Activate the unit only if it is secured that parts under dangerous
voltages cannot be touched!
